From the President…. The Board of Directors and I are so very happy to see spring finally here! This winter felt awfully long, especially with those bitterly cold temperatures in January and snow that just stayed around way too long. The MOOseum will be opening on Saturdays to the public in just a few short weeks with the first Saturday May 3. There are quite a few school groups and community groups signed up for special tours in May and later this summer. We can’t wait to see how our new exhibit on How To Milk a Cow is received by our visitors. Our goal was to make this exhibit more hands-on with easy to read explanations. Currently, work continues on the exhibit; it appears, however, that is will be ready for our opening weekend. During the MOOseum’s open season we have three very special events. In this newsletter we want to share information about these 2025 events. We hope to see you at them this year.
