This is a great time to get involved and we have a lot of exciting plans in our near future. Mamie Doud Eisenhower Birthplace will open as usual in May. And the Boone History Center will be having a Grand Reopening celebrating in June! We also have new additions for our Kate Shelley Museum site that will hopefully be ready for visitors later in the summer. ![]()

We are finally ready to dig in at our Kate Shelley site and we are starting with a clean up day! Join us to help get the grounds ready for visitors as we start our first step to a new visitor experience planned to (hopefully) open this summer! We'll be working from 9-12 on Saturday May 8th. Bring working gloves and any tools you'd like to use. There are currently no working bathrooms on the premises, so please plan accordingly. Hope to see you there! fb.me/e/3rJsQHV0u
