Book Published


This is the cover of the first hardcover book.  A second book was ordered.  Ordered on Sunday, the book arrived in Highland Grove on Wednesday, same week.  Cost of $100.

These books are a great way to keep family histories alive.

First Hardcover Book

Well, for the past few months the museum staff have been working on a 72 page, hardcover book that covers the maternal side of one family.  It covers genealogy in detail and photos.  As might be expected the genealogy is probably out of date since updating is a difficult area.

The book was sent to Apple on Sunday morning and on Tuesday morning we received confirmation that the book was sent.  There may be some difficulties since we used Adobe Photoshop to add text to many photos and set up a system which is not covered in the iBook.  Fingers crossed.

The book was sent through the internet and took less than 10 minutes of upload time.  Cost was just less than $100, including shipping.

The book can be modified by additions and subtraction of pages and resent for an additional book.  It seems like a good way of getting family history into a compact framework perhaps as good or better than an album.

Supporting Firetruck Heritage


A committee has been set up to restore this OLD NUMBER ONE in Wilberforce.  Our museum is supporting their efforts by donating 10 coffee mugs with the above graphics.  They can use the mugs for raising funds.
