Historical Empathy. It is what I feel a lot as a Historian. It is what drives my passion and gives purpose to it. It is what I want others to experience when they are exposed to the past; whether through artifacts, touching an old document, wandering a cemetery, exploring old buildings and/or the land they were once upon, or looking into the eyes of someone from an old photograph. What level of Historical Empathy have you known? What level do you want to experience? I'll meet you there.

The wind has cleared most of the apple tree at the museum! There are LOTS of apples on the ground around the trees. They are macs I believe- maybe Cortlands. I picked one up today and it did not have any bruising and it was very firm. If anyone wants them, just go get them! They would be great for pies, crisps, sauce or to slice and put in the freezer. They won't stay firm for long so please go help yourself. I would hate to see them wasted if someone can use them!

Coffee with a Conductor at the Museum on Tuesday, October 10th at 10 am! We will have coffee and homemade donuts! Our topic is the Civil War and the men who left Lisbon to go. If all goes well, we will have someone present his information on those soldiers who were sent to Andersonville. Some returned and some did not.
