The Museum still has the "Childhood Toys" exhibit, and it has grown larger each time I have stopped by. There will be another exhibit soon, but they need to figure out what that exhibit will be before they can put it together.
By the way, if you are cleaning closets or attics and you find old pictures, advertisements, phone books, yearbooks, maps, or anything else that is related to the history of the area, before you throw the items into the trash, consider giving them to the Museum. They may throw them in the trash if they think they have no value, but some of those old things are worth preserving and other people would like to see them.

You are correct. The museum is a good place to give items or to loan items of interest to the Jasper County community.
I remember when Elizabeth Merritt was County Assessor and I spoke with her several times in the 1850s. She lived on S. Melville St. (if I remember right) not far from our house. She is buried in Weston Cemetery http://www.lanewood.com/weston.pdf
Oops... in my earlier comment I meant 1950s not 1850s
