There are times someone comes into the museum with an item that we have never laid eyes on...

This is where we are going to start asking you for your help!

A longtime Borger resident brought this in the other day and wondered if anyone had any information on it. If you know the history behind this hat please let us know! (he had bought a box full of hats at a garage sale and this hat was in the box!)

We appreciate your assistance!
