The board of directors for the Tales ‘N’ Trails Museum hosted the annual general membership meeting on April 18 and learned more about one of its first benefactors Ringgold rockhound and historian Gene Wilson.
Tracy Mesler, board chairman, welcomed the group of about 25 inviting them to take a look at some of the work that has been done recently including the installation of an old banister bridge on the property, preparation to install a 93 foot tall oil derrick behind the museum along with ongoing work to get the exhibit areas set up in the agriculture barn and outdoor exhibits around the spudder’s house. A new exhibit of historical photos from around Montague County also will open in May.
Members were asked to take part in an election to elect directors to new terms.
