Happy Birthday WCHM

Wayne County Historical Museum

YOUR Wayne County Historical Museum has been in its current building since 1930, 90 years ago. Julia Meek Gaar wanted to bring world history to the children of Wayne County and loved traveling the world. Julia’s collection had gotten too big for the space that she had at Richmond Art Museum, and found an old Hicksite Quaker Meeting house, which still houses our museum today.	Join YOUR Wayne County Historical Museum in this virtual event with our panel of expert speakers. Sue King will have a talk about the Pre-history of the Wayne County Historical Museum including the creation of the local historical society. Tom Hamm will talk about Quakers and having the museum in an old meeting house. Gunty Atkins and John Shipley will talk about Wayne County Industry. Finally, Karen Shank-Chapman will give a talk about our founder Julia Meek Gaar.	These 90 years would not have been possible without all the hard work throughout the community for all these years. Thank you all for continuing Julia’s Legacy. We would love to hear from all of you in the community for our video compilation celebrating OUR Birthday! Send us a video explain why you love YOUR Wayne County Historical Museum, what you favorite artifact/ exhibit is or just wishing us a happy birthday day!
