This month’s episode is packed with local history, community spirit, and a heartfelt sendoff:
🇺🇸 First up, host Mike Ducett sits down with President of the Oregon Area Historical Society to preview an exciting June event — a community-wide conversation on the American Revolution. Get the inside scoop on how it came together, what you can expect, and what else the Historical Society has planned this year!
🎥 Then, we turn the spotlight to OHS art teacher who joins us to talk about his powerful documentary, “The Forgotten Packer: Vernon J. Biever.” Hear why this legendary Green Bay Packers photographer inspired the film — and join us in celebrating Mike’s incredible career as he prepares for retirement.

Our amazing friend Chad dropped off this cool display today with some stickers he made of some of the items you can find in the museum! Wow! Thanks Chad!

Stop by during our open hours to grab a sticker for yourself while they last!

We're trying to come up with some different ideas for these pictures. T-shirts might be one option. What are your thoughts? Would you buy one of these on a shirt? What about new postcards?
