Afton Historical Society a recipient of Minnesota
Legacy Grant!
Funds provided are to undertake a first time ever whole building
inventory.
A second grant has been requested to continue the process
to photograph and computer catalogue all inventoried items.
Much has been cleaned and organized to the inventory team's
credit. The time and effort of our volunteers is truly appreciated.
Forthcoming renovation/painting of Museum Building
