(Continued on Schedule O)The history museum was relocated and renamed the Wood River Museum of History and Culture. All of the exhibits were completely redesigned, and the location is within a block of the Library. In addition to the museum space, the Center for Regional History added a 900 square foot storage space in the lower level of the same building. This move and redesign better enables the Center for Regional History to connect with the public and maintain collections in a more professional manner.
