Memorial Day

Memorial Day Museum Activities

Museum activities include an open house, bake sale, food and beverages, demonstrations and carriage rides.  The McFarland Memorial Day Parade passes by the Museum and attracts many visitors.  Notice the pie safe (bottom photo), an historic artifact that is actually used to hold pies until they are sold at the bake sale.  Thanks to former Board member Christi Mykytyn for these and many other photographs.
