To all of you who called or emailed the Arcadia Historical Society
regarding the recent flooding of our city , we thank you. Thankfully our
museum did not have any major damage. We are located in the middle of
our Main Street, our building was built in the 1860's so it is built 2
feet above the sidewalk level. The water reached the top of the step
and ramp. Those businesses on sidewalk level received allot of water
and mud. I guess being "old" has its advantages !
This might be a good time to mention for your historical society to
make a emergency plan for your museum. We have a round-robin call list
for volunteers. It saves allot of unnecessary phone calls that could
tie up phone lines for emergency workers. Had we needed to vacant items
from the museum, our volunteers knew exactly where to meet and what to.
Again, thank you Members of the Arcadia Historical Society
