Something exciting is happening at Hillcrest Museum!

After months of planning with Matthew Jacobi and the team at work is beginning on the restoration of the historic windows at our historic building.

This might be a long shot, but does anyone remember Bob “Huck” Mitchell? Hillcrest has some photos from the 1930s, and we’re hoping to identify a few of the people in them. Thank You
