ANNOUNCEMENT: The Museum will reopen this Saturday August 22! A new handicap ramp has been installed and our Air Conditioning has been fully reinstalled as well. Phase 1 of the basement project is almost complete. The project is helping to stop water from entering the basement and is drawing water out from around the exterior. We will now look at moving to phase 2 which will continue to address the moisture issue. We do not have any details on phase 2 at this time as it is currently still in the planning stages. We appreciate all of the work that has been done on the basement over the last several months by all parties involved. Restoration and Rehabilitation of the Old Courthouse is an ongoing project and one that is essential to ensuring the preservation of our county’s heritage and our architectural crown jewel.

Wow what a day!!!! It was such a neat experience to uncover our towns vault after 50 years! There are so many people to thank for today.

First of all County Judge Brian Jones, Ryan O’Dell and Billy Wallace for digging the vault up. Couldn’t have done it without their help.

Thank you to Sheriff Randy Shores, Police Chief Horatio Gonzalez, and Police Captain Cheyenne King for their help today as well.

I would like to thank our Museum volunteers Laurie Richardson, Mike Richardson, Clydene Hughes, Erica Richardson, Dana Stockton, Carolyn Hanna, Rebecca Billings, and Keith Wilsey for working all day to make sure all of the items were properly cared for after being removed from the vault and for catering to everyone visiting today.

Thank you to Ashley Imperiali and the rest of Main Street Waldron for helping collect items for the new time capsule and for organizing its donation and placement on the museum lawn.

Thank you to Martin Funeral Home for their donation of the old and new vault and for assisting us in this process throughout the last several weeks.

Thank you to Wilbert Vault Co for assisting today with the vault as well.

Thank you to Konnor McKay for passing out water on such a hot day.

A big thank you to Atlas Coffee for bringing us a refreshing pick me up this afternoon!

Thank you to everyone who came out today to witness a once in a lifetime event for our county.

And lastly thank you to those who organized this wonderful time capsule back in 1976, which gave all of us a chance to remember loved ones, reminisce on the good old days, and see how life has changed after 50 years.
