News & Announcements

May 14, 2021

The History Center is encouraged by the progress our local and national community has made towards the fight against Covid-19.  This institution is also aware of the new guidelines recommended by the CDC regarding mask usage. 

The health and safety of The History Center’s visitors, volunteers and staff is the highest priority and we are committed to the safety of our community. It is difficult to ascertain exactly who has been vaccinated and who is not.  Therefore, the mask and social distancing requirements currently in place will remain in place until May 31, 2021, at which time The History Center will review the policy and situation.
