It is almost  time for a new exhibit to be presented in
The DePew House!

This year we are honoring the police, volunteer firemen and emergency services by presenting some of the histories of these organizations.

The title of this exhibit is

OUR LIVES IN THEIR HANDS


It has been exciting to witness the past history of these organizations and their progression into the 21st century.   The staff and volunteers have spent a lot of time in arranging for for the photographs and objects to be brought to the museum and equally important, to research each arrtifact. The staff has met a number of helpful people who gave their time and  suggestions to make this exhibit more than just special.

We are grateful  to them in assembling this exhibit,
which is really three exhibits in one.
