I am happy to finally give this information that the Windber Area Museum face book page has a new editor. As they always say "ask a busy person to do something and they will do it" and that surely fits Roxann Newcomer. She is the editor for the newsletter and is now going to be in charge of the museum FB posts. She will be informing you of the events and happenings at the museum so watch for her messages. You can contact her at her email - [email protected] or call her at 814-467-9193. Thank you Roxanne, from past editor -admin. Patricia Durst Shaffer.

I pray I have served well in helping others learn about the history of our area, the people, and events. I will continue as a certified genealogist-historian, it is a labor of love, please feel free to contact me on my fb page or email me - [email protected]. Please support the work of the Windber Area Museum. Send all questions concerning the museum activities to Norettta Haydu, ( 467-8662) Pres.of the all volunteer organization.
