It's been an exhilarating three months! I started as your new director the day Gov. DeWine closed schools for three weeks. It will forever remind me of my beginning chapter as I am woven into the history books of the Robbins Hunter Museum. In spite of the unusual circumstances, the Board, Teri Niedermeyer and I have been busily working from home, writing emergency grant proposals and planning to take our collections and exhibits on-line as much as possible.
We have also deep cleaned, painted and beautified the museum so that our doors are open again for tours. We allow groups of four at a time, Tuesday-Saturday, at 1 pm and 3 pm, and as always, by reservation. We highly encourage masks and have prioritized cleaning between tours.

If you haven't already joined the museum as a member, we are running a summer membership campaign where you can Buy One Give One (BOGO) and all new members will have their membership through the end of March 2022! Please consider joining today! Your membership dollars will be used to support the museum going forward and maintain this precious community resource.
