AHSGR is thrilled to host a porch for Porch Jam this year! We always enjoy working with the community on various events, so when Porch Jam asked if we would like to be a part of the event this year, we, of course, said yes. We are excited to have bands playing in front of the museum, and for people to stop by and take a look at our museum.
