Hard working youth... They decided to venture into the unknown,unseen parts of the basement and uncover ,camera's, printing presses, old buckets, hardware, lots of coal, the embalming room, the elevator shaft and so much dirt.Just to name a  bit of the artifacts.  Although this is not typical work of our interns . This group of young people  decided this would be their contribution to the Museum.. I must say it was a wonderful one. A huge contribution. They worked so hard and we appreciate them so much.
Thank you.
