I just learned that I will be spending my weekend creating yet another version of the museum's history for a meeting on Tuesday between the director, board members, and our new mayor. Not how I planned to spend my weekend, as I would like to finish the book version of the history, but oh well.So, here is one of my favorite pix--schoolchildren in the museum, obviously shortly after the first permanent building opened in 1906. Portrait second from right on back wall is James Whitcomb Riley by John Singer Sargent, the museum's most cherished possession in its first 35 years or so.
