Advice sought on donations of other artifacts being offered The Commission voted not to accept a box of barbed wire, the age and use of which was not known. Gladys consulted the Hiwan Homestead Museum to identify the barbed wire, but they were unable to clarify. Bridget will thank the donor and suggest an alternative place for the donor to donate the wire. The sign from Hanks Model Train store, in the location that was formerly the Twin Lakes Tavern at 728 Main Street, has been offered to the Museum. The sign is from recent times and the Museum’s available storage space was discussed as a relevant consideration. The Commission decided not to accept this item on a vote of 4 to 3. 3. Additional Items from Museum Coordinator’s Report The Museum’s new summer hours are Wed 10-3; Fri 3-8; Sat 10-3. The Friday hours coincide with the Louisville Street Faire and First Friday Art Walk.
