Exciting things are happening in Shell K**b!
The grand opening of the Friends of Shell K**b Museum will be held Saturday, June 6th from 10:00 AM–2:00 PM, and everyone is welcome to come celebrate with us.
What started as an idea to preserve the stories, memories, and history of our community is quickly becoming something truly special. From artifacts and photographs to pieces that spark conversations from the “good old days,” the museum is already filled with reminders of what makes Shell K**b unique — and we’re just getting started.
We are incredibly excited to continue building on what we have and growing the museum into a place where the history of Shell K**b can be shared for generations to come. Every donation, story, photograph, and memory helps bring our community’s history to life.
Whether you’ve lived here your whole life, spent summers at the lake, or are simply curious about the history of our town, we would love for you to stop by and be part of this special day.
Saturday, June 6�10:00 AM – 2:00 PM�All are welcome!
Come celebrate the past, present, and future of Shell K**b with us.

Hello Shell K**b Community,

We’re putting the final touches on the museum as we recreate the atmosphere of the era surrounding the Fields–Plummer Cabin. As we near completion, we’re looking for items that help tell the story of Shell K**b—pieces that spark memories, conversation, and a sense of nostalgia.
From the early days (pre-bridge) to more recent history, we would love to include anything that represents what Shell K**b once was—and still is today.

Thanks to generous contributions, we’ve already received items such as a bottle of BJ’s BBQ sauce, the TNT blaster used in the forging of McCullough Cemetery, and the very first Rattler publication. We’re still searching for items like Rima’s Market flyers, Turkey Mountain golf course scorecards, first fireworks T-shirts, and more.
Old photographs of original resorts or businesses, vintage pamphlets, memorabilia—anything connected to Shell K**b’s past is welcome. If it was once part of Shell K**b, it has a place in telling our story.
Items can be donated or placed on loan, and displays will rotate regularly to showcase as much history as possible. Donation and loan forms are available at the bottom of this post

We’re also excited to share that we’ll be hosting monthly history talks, featuring stories told by local residents who experienced these moments firsthand.
If you have items to contribute or questions, please reach out to us at:�[email protected]
Thank you for helping preserve the history of Shell K**b—we couldn’t do this without you. And stay tuned for our opening date announcement.
