![]() The Fillmore Historical Society had a noteworthy opening of the “Depot Office” this past weekend. President of the Fillmore Historical Society, Martha Gentry, gave a short, but very enlightening presentation of the history of the society from its beginnings to the present. You would have been impressed by all the work and hours of planning and getting the project completed. Of course, Edith Moore Jarrett, Spanish teacher to many of us, was the person behind all these activities at the museum with her donations. However, money isn’t everything and the museum has been working for quite a few years to come to this day. So, take the time to see the newest addition to the museum and enjoy the many “exhibits” and the items that are available for viewing at no cost to you. And, if you have the time, offer to assist in the operations of the museum. Enlarge Photo By Anonymous — Wednesday, June 4th, 2008
