The Andrew County Museum is about to celebrate its 40th birthday. Director Glenn Uminowitz says the observance comes as the museum hosts two great exhibits: a traveling show from the Smithsonian, and the museum’s own Rural Way of Life exhibit.

Uminowitz says the museum keeps updating the Rural Way of Life exhibit, so if you’ve seen it once, come in and see what’s new. He says the local exhibit is a good match for the traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian called “The Way We Worked.” It will remain here until June 2nd. The Andrew County Museum will mark its 40th anniversary on May 30th.
