AAcHENRY, ILL. 385-1040 PAGE 2 - PLAINDEALER WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27. 1976 Historical Museum Hours Reduced After November 1 The \lcHenry County Historical society' has been pleased with the number of visitors to the museum located at Union, since it was opened to the public last July 4. It has been open Wednesdays and Sundays from 2 to 5 p.m. However, since the opening of school, attendance has been dropping off on Wednesdays and since cost of heat and light is high, it has been decided to be open only on Sundays after the first of November. It will be closed on the Sundays before and after Christmas and on the Sunday after New Years, Jan, 2. The Kiwanis club of Wood­ stock has made, a fine donation in the way of time and money, by giving a set of posts with chajns to surround exhibits that should not be touched by visitors. Round green concrete bases with carpeting on the bottoms to keep from scrat­ ching the floors, upright green posts and bright yellow plastic chains connect the posts. They add color to the rooms and are quite effective. If other service clubs would like to sponsor projects for the museum, their contributions would be most welcome. There are several musical in­ struments that need restoration such as melodeon, clavichord and pianos. The alarm system installed throughout the premises of the Museum has proven very ef­ fective. The historical items on display at the Harrison House. Marengo, during their Old Settler's week drew much attention. Dennis Rudsinski of Huntley loaned his collection of old tools, a hand horn husker and newspapers dealing with major events such as President McKinley's shooting in 1901; Teddy Roosevelt's landslide election, 1904; the death of President Harding in 1923; General MacArthur's return in 1951; the Zeppelin disaster of 1929; the attempted assasination of Theodore -Roosevelt in 1912; the end of the war with Japan in 1945 and a story covering a decade and a half of the Oliver Typewriter Co., Woodstock, printed in 1913. Since the opening of the museum donations in the way of artifacts have been most gratifying, including tools, clothing, maps. There is a need to help in the office to properly record these gifts. All items are recorded by hand in a bound ledger, showing the donor and a full description of the item. Then the items must be labeled and attached for display. Typists are needed to take this information onto four different copies. There is more to keeping up a museum than the displaying of the artifacts and paying for light and heat. Behind the scenes activities are many and volunteers are needed in many different departments. Those handy with mending maps, old newspapers, mounting photographs and news items, sewing and repairing of clothing, doilies, painting display cases, washing and dusting them, and helping to mound displays in them, make minor repairs to artifacts, removing rust, etc., should write or phone the volunteer chairman, Alice Clark, 8815 Rt. 120, or write or phone the Museum, 923-2267.
