We regret that we will not be able to have the Model Train and Toy Truck Exhibit at the Wiggins Depot that was scheduled for April 4. Hopefully we will be able to reschedule at a late date. Our prayer is that everyone remains happy and healthy! Thank you for supporting the Old Firehouse Museum!

Old Firehouse Museum volunteer luncheon at Bill’s. You too can join us for the next luncheon if you are a volunteer at the museum for just a few hours each month. Not only do you help us but you help your community and you may learn a few things about this wonderful county you live in or appreciate. We are missing one of our volunteers, Day Barlow.

They are here!

The Old Firehouse Museum 2019 Calendar is now available for sale. The calendar features all new interesting photographs, some previously unavailable to us, along with information about Wiggins and Stone County from years past. The calendars are $8.00 each when purchased locally and $10.00 if they are to be mailed.

They can be purchased from the Museum on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9 am to 4 pm. They will be also available from City Hall, Stone County Court House, Alexander’s Hardware, The Sawmill, The Pecan House and our newest supporter Southern Turnings.

Calendars for the previous years of 2013 to 2018 are available for sale only at the museum. The sale of calendars is the primary fundraiser for the Old Firehouse Museum. Your support allows the museum to continue its outreach programs such as the Doll Show and Tea Party and the Train and Toy Truck Show as well as its mission of preserving our history.

Please share this posting so that your friends will know the calendars are available.
