Museum needs auction, bake sale items
Julie Chautin Contributing writer

Professor Billy Ray Palmer often brings students from Tri-County Community College to the Cherokee County Historical Museum so they can see history up close and personal through artifacts and exhibits.

Palmer recently introduced a class to the Trail of Tears exhibits as well as the authentic schoolroom and Cherokee log cabin. On Saturday everyone else in Cherokee County can enjoy the exhibits for free as part of the museum's Heritage Day celebration.

This is also the day the museum holds its annual silent auction and homemade bake sale to raise additional funds for special projects.

But more items are needed and local craftspeople and businesses are urged to stop by or call the museum at 837-6792 to donate. Volunteers will be happy to pick up any donations.
