Issued a FB challenge for a donation to our local food bank if we could get 8 likes and received 66. Marge Barden, a museum volunteer and food pantry person, gladly took my check. She is also Grand Marshall for our 4th of July parade!

Throwback to 1947 when the Birmingham Police Department employed a ventriloquist dummy. They don't anymore because we've all seen how that Twilight Zone episode ends. #TBT

#railroad exhibit at Conklin Museum. A whistle post from our past local railroad. Train Engineers would blow their whistles when they saw them. They were placed about a quarter mile before crossings, bridges, and work areas to warn that they were coming through! #hanovermich

Throwback Thursday! Here's a group of Jackson youths posing while out on a bike ride circa 1900. Imagine biking in all those clothes! This appears to be along Stonewall Road near present day Ella Sharp Park. Photo from the Jackson District Library historic photo collection. #Tbt
