Volunteers continue to document and preserve documents, artifacts, photos and other cool local stuff for the future Aberdeen Museum of History. One of our most amazing collections is a series of Union Button Mosaics. There are hundreds of union buttons from more than 60 local unions on this 5-foot-wide wall hanging. We believe it was created by the Card and Label Council of Grays Harbor County for a convention or special event between 1958 and 1962. Do you know anything about this?
