Japanese Collection

Dan Bruce, our museum's curator, announced yesterday at the Board of Directors meeting that he was intending to increase the museum's collection of all things Japanese.  Since the early 20th century, we have had a significant population of Japanese immigrants who first worked in orchards for other people and then bought land and worked their own orchards and businesses.  They and their descendants have contributed to this community and it is reasonable that aspects of their culture and experiences be acknowledged in Lake Country Museum.  Artifacts and archival material will be gratefully received.

The Board has also approved the seeking of a suitable person to work as a part-time manager of the museum.  We will be advertising shortly.  We'll keep you posted!
