Canton Museum Board to recruit members

Submitted by Canton1 on

The Canton Museum Board will meet  at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 19 at the Blackwell House Museum, 315 First Monday Lane (State Hwy. 859 next to the VZ County Library). 
The board is made up of volunteers who are interested in preserving the historic collections housed at the Blackwell House and the Plaza Museum.  Business meetings are held quarterly beginning in January and work days are scheduled throughout the year as needed.  New members are being actively recruited at this time.
The Blackwell House, built in 1886, is the oldest home standing in Canton.  The house is open to the public at an Annual Christmas Open House early each December and available for private gatherings throughout the year.  Many small family reunions, baby and wedding showers and small parties are scheduled.  You can call 903-848-0675 for availability and rental cost.
