This blog is in no way reflective of the wonderful organization of which, I am the proud director. Instead, this serves as a way to vent or share common experiences or head slapping turmoils associated with running a small museum on a shoestring budget.  That being said, do not presume that this is some sort of pretentious way of   "making a name for myself. " My greatest enjoyment comes from the successes and progress that occur at my beloved place of employment. I truly mean beloved because if not for the love of the building, its wonderful artifacts and the people who share the common dream, what is there but simple brick and mortar, cobwebs and droppings, gentle sighs and despair. Like a strong shouldered woman she rises and embraces all that come to know her. For who can say that they have not been impacted by the very size of it. What are 50 plus rooms if you have not wandered around and explored the vast and rich history of Greene County? How often have you discovered new rooms or an item you have not seen before?

It is mind-boggling to even ponder at the wonder of it all. Yet even as I type, there are a vast number of Greene Countians who have never stepped foot on wandering green grass or entered its glorious brick walls. But as this is just a blog and not a flagrant Victorian romance betwixt myself and the museum, I say come out and see what we have done. For it not for the people, who then do we toil daily for?
