Official Opening May 1, 2010

Opening Day is just two months away, and I am excited. This is when things start to really happen, to take fruition!
I encourage everyone to join us at the Museum, Saturday, May 1, 2010 from 2 – 5 pm, for the Official Opening of the Museum. We have refreshments, cake and entertainment planned for the afternoon.
Now that I’ve got your attention by mentioning cake, let me remind you that on this day we will be presenting Ray Fazakas’ Donnelly Collection. This collection has never been seen by the public, and we are so thrilled to share it with you.
This summer we will be presenting a ‘Founding Families’ exhibit. This will be a phenomenal experience to learn not only about the well-known Irish settlement of the area, but of the Black families who settled the Lucan area prior to the arrival of the Irish.
Come August, we’ll be installing the ‘Hometown Heroes’ exhibit in which we’ll pay homage to the men, women & families in Lucan who made tremendous sacrifices in past wars.
Finally, for those of you who have never been to visit, we also have the ‘Donnelly Cabin’ and Hearn’s Barn on site wherein we’ll give you a tour in a unique environment that will take you into the past.
