Historical society to hold special membership meeting

The Wood County Historical Society will hold a special membership meeting on June 4 from 9-10:30 a.m. at the Wood County Museum, 13660 County Home Road.

The purpose is to show member appreciation, provide museum highlights, and give historical society members the opportunity to review and vote on proposed bylaws changes. Coffee and light refreshments will be served and there will be a short program from the Wood County Historical Society Board president, Hal Brown, and the museum director, Kelli Kling.

The voting window will remain open until 10:30 a.m. to provide opportunity to all Wood County Historical Society members in good standing to cast a ballot for this bylaws update.

Following the program, the museum will be open for self-guided tours of the new wedding exhibit “Allure & Illusion: A Rose Colored Romance.” Additionally, the Power of Yesteryear Tractor Club will hold its annual farm and tractor show at the Wood County Museum from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. This is a free event.
