While the Museum closes for the season on Oct 31, the fun doesn't end! Join the Kewanee Memory Lane peeps on the first Saturdays Nov-Mar for chit chat, coffee, sweets and a good time! We are wanting to collect oral history of Kewanee, so whether you are 30 or 100, you have some memories of who was who and what was what that we would like to know. Each month we will have a topic to start from, where it goes is anyone's guess!
See you at the Museum!!
