Happy Flag Day

Yesterday we bid a fond farewell to Travis Stork who has manned the museum’s front desk on weekends for the last seven years. He has done a great job and on more than one occasion helped bail the museum out of staffing crises. Travis is on to bigger and better things and we wish him all the best. We’ll miss you Travis!
