Here at KMHM we give thanks to our many volunteers and interns. Today we would like to highlight Jennifer Baar. Baar is an economic geologist, who is currently volunteering at the museum. She is currently working to catalogue the John Connor collection of rocks and minerals.

Today we were visited by Baker Roofing, out of the Raleigh Division, to assess the cupola on the museum building (the old post office). We pulled the original 1939 blueprints out from our collections to observe the structural features of the building.
