The History Center Museum building will be closed Friday morning, Aug. 29, as T-Mobile conducts emergency repairs to its equipment on the smokestack. The work will require closing Pershing Avenue in front of our building starting at 7 a.m. Colonial Complex tours are available at 1 and 3 p.m. only, and the Agricultural and Industrial Museum will open normally at 10 a.m. The History Center Museum will re-open no later than noon. Thank you for your patience.
The Devers Collection consists of the papers given to the History Center by WWII General Jacob Devers. They include correspondence, oral history cassette tapes, photographs, scrapbooks and miscellaneous material. There are 92 photo albums and 137 5-inch Hollinger boxes, a total of 110 linear feet of material.
