It has been a few months since I posted a blog. The absence of blogging is not because there
isn’t anything to report, just the opposite.
In the past few months, the museum staff and volunteers have been
resetting museum displays in all the buildings, leading school groups for field trips, renting out
the museum meeting room and successfully hosting Heritage Harvest. We are not slowing down, there are some
exciting programs booked this fall in addition to the monthly community coffees,
tractor group meetings and our evening work groups.
On Tuesday, October 14, Art Allen will be here to promote
the book “Zeal to Educate Women” which was written by his wife, Nancy. Many of you may recall Art and Nancy’s visit in 2010 years ago which was featured in the local newspaper (see photo above). Nancy had been researching her relatives, the
Peters sisters who were missionaries to China from 1888 to the 1924. Alice, Mary and Sarah Peters were all
Princeville residents who championed change in China via the Methodist
Episcopal Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society (WFMS).
Nancy’s extensive research resulted in her authoring the
book “Zeal to Educate Women” which was published in 2013 by Tingley Road
Publishing. Please join us for the
program on Tuesday, October 14, at 6:30 pm in the meeting room at the
Princeville Heritage Museum. Reverend
Art Allen will here to share the legacy of these remarkable women. This is a public event and you need not be a
member of the museum to attend. The
books are available for purchase in the museum’s gift center.
