Garst Museum
celebrates National Preservation Month
May is National Preservation Month. Sponsored by the National Trust for
Historic Preservation, the theme this year is “Celebrating America’s
Treasures.”
At the local level, Darke County will be joining communities across the
country commemorating their own unique heritage. Darke County’s
“Celebrating Our Local Treasures” includes events throughout the month
and offers the community ways to support and recognize our diverse
history and built environment.
In honor of Darke County’s “Celebrating Our Local Treasures” National
Historic Preservation Month event, the Lowell Thomas House will be open
from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm each Saturday during May. The Lowell Thomas
House is currently being repainted thanks to a generous donation from
Kay Brown. Stop by and see the progress!
Admission to the Lowell Thomas House is free through the double glass
doors located next to the parking lot. Regular admission prices apply
to tour the museum.
A special joint membership deal for Historic Preservation Month is also
offered during May. Partnering together for the places that matter are
Bear's Mill, Main Street Greenville, and Garst Museum (Darke County
Historical Society). Your support will allow all three organizations to
continue their mission to ensure that our local treasures remain intact
and celebrated for years to come. The special membership package
includes an individual membership to each organization for a year at a
discounted price of $50. This offer is for new members only.
Stop by Garst Museum or Bear's Mill or visit www.DowntownGreenville.org
to support our treasures today!
