I am going through some old pictures for a stereoscope. There are nine, all supposed to be from Girard. I recognize all of them, but this one. I believe it's an old school. Whittier??? Or a church.

Have any of you gone through your junk drawers lately? Or your parents' or grandparents' junk drawers? What might be junk to you might be treasure for the museum!

We love to collect promos and other items from local businesses! Don't toss it out!

We look for things from Sauer's, M&M Motors, CrawKan, Rhodes Lumberyard, Producers Co-op, and Supersweet, Dorsey Funeral Home; Davis, Philips, Mathis, Matthews, or O'Reilly Drug Stores, Todd's Cheese, Zettl's or Brown's Bakery, Slawson's, Higgie's; local banks, hotels, churches, organizations, and businesses.

Trying to keep historical items from Girard in Girard! 

Here are a few of the items that we have recently received and are putting in our business display!

Thanks Roger Buck for posting this on your page!

How many remember shopping at Keith's IGA? Some younger people probably don't even know where it was.

I remember the floors because, as a kid; I was always trying to jump from one color to another. I believe they were green, maroon, and beige. Anyone have any pictures of the inside or the outside of Keith's IGA that they would like to post?

Look at those prices! 😱😱😱

Did any of you have any of these?

Toot-Toot, the train
Jolly Jalopy, the clown
Mini Copter, the helicopter
And little Snoopy, the dog

I thought some of your farmers might be interested in the video of the Hesston Farm Corporation. Amazing, some of the agricultural inventions that Lyle Yost came up with.
