Max History Museum Display

Just a quick update on the Max History Display which is to be housed in the original Methodist Church building located in the Max Pioneer Park. Thus far we are putting together a Max History book which will be available for folks to browse through in the church building. It will be a sort of scrap book full of old photos and history about the town and the folks who lived here.

Jim Baney has generously donated an 1889 Triumph style parlor organ made by the Estey Organ Co., of Brattleboro, Vermont. The organ was originally purchased in 1890 and later moved to a home in Max, where it stayed until the 1940s when it was sold. The organ is beautiful and has now made its way home to Max.

Mr. Baney also donated a very nice large glass and oak display case where we can display items related to the history of Max. He also donated several other smaller items, as well as a lot of historical information contained in old newspaper articles.

We are still seeking donations of items to be placed in the Max History Display, so if you have an item or items that you would either like to donate, or loan to the club for display, we sure would appreciate it! If you have some old photographs, we are able to copy them, and can then return the originals to you. If you would like to donate or loan something, or if you have any questions, please call Cindy Cawthra at 423-2712 of Bob Tuttle at 423-5363.
