NEW CUMBERLAND -- The Hancock County Museum Commission will begin the Summer Lecture Series Sunday, May 21 at 2 p.m. at the museum featuring "Memories of the Grand Ole Opry" with Janet Keller leading the program. The series takes on a more serious and somber subject on July 16 with Fr. John Neiman sharing stories and facts of the Holocaust during World War II through his association with Otto Frank and his wife. Frank was the father of Anne Frank who wrote of her daily life in hiding in her personal diary.
Minutes of the previous meeting and financial reports were accepted.
Several gifts were received, logged and acknowledged with thanks including a West Virginia flag from Neiman; several pieces of Hall China from Bob and Donna Gray; three framed newspaper pages of World War II historical events from George Shock.
The group agreed to participate in the New Cumberland Memorial Day Parade on May 29 at 1 p.m.
Linda McNeil has presented a request for the museum to partner with the Hancock County school board in inviting school classes and children to come share the history and lifestyles of the Victorian Age represented at the museum. Keller has accepted this proposal and is developing plans.
The meeting will be held at 2 p.m. May 3 at the museum. All are welcome.
