Historical Society looking for new space

Announcement from the YS Historical Society:

The board of the Yellow Springs Historical Society is deeply grateful to Steve Deal and Nancy Mellon for the time that they have allowed us to use the parlor in their historic home as a museum for the growing collection of Yellow Springs historical memorabilia.

We fully understand that they have other needs for the space, and we will be packing up and storing the collection over the next few weeks, so for the foreseeable future, we will be without a museum.

It does give us an opportunity to dream and plan for a space to house both the museum collection and the Antioch Bookplate archives and to provide opportunities for people to do research.

Steve and Nancy's generosity in housing our first efforts has given us a starting point, and we will be forever indebted for their kindness.

Editor's note: If the land swap between the Barr Property and the park on Corry Street were ever to happen, wouldn't it make sense to use the Barr house as a Yellow Springs Historical Museum? Just a thought...
