Grand Opening - 5/30/2009
We celebrated our Grand Opening of our new museum on May 30th. Our special guest that day was Alice Ziegler - the granddaughter of Alice Harrel Strickland who, along with her husband, built the house in the late 1800's.
Also on hand was our Mayor of Duluth and several character actors dressed in period costumes that mingled with the guests compliments of Duluth's New Dawn Theater.
