Museum work
Nancy Knapke at the Fort Recovery State Historical Museum said that the museum’s off-season allowed for some improvements.
A large window on the west side of the museum’s main floor has been replaced, and lighting has been improved for the Bubp Prehistoric Experience Exhibit Area on the third floor.
New LED lighting designed by Dan Schoen of the Home Idea Center makes the pictorial timeline much easier to read.
Takes third
