2008 Porch Project:
The porches surrounding the Wood County Historical Museum will be under construction during 2008. This is a huge undertaking, one that we will approach with great care. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause throughout the season, including construction equipment on the grounds and no use of our handicap ramp for a few weeks (date to be determined). We hope to keep you, our loyal visitors, informed with the progress in our new blog (link coming soon). Please check back often for updates and pictures.
