Society Announces New Hours of Operation
Due to current economic conditions, the Washington County Historical society
has reduced staff hours, and closed the Old Courthouse Museum on Mondays.
Volunteer project work, interns, and the Research Center will be available
Tuesdays through Fridays with no change to regular weekend hours. The new
hours of operation begin Monday, May 18.
The current financial crisis has directly affected the society's donation
receipts. It was determined to decrease hours instead of cutting programs.
In this way, the community will continue to benefit from outstanding
educational programs, special events, and enjoy four unique historic sites.
The decrease in hours will be reversed as economic conditions continue to
improve. This is the first time that an action like this had to be
instituted in the society's 136 year history of serving Washington County.
