One of the many fascinating aspects of the Southeast Kansas Education Museum in Oswego is the African room which is now getting some final touches.
Many volunteers have recently helped out at the museum, getting the exhibit to its ready-to-show status.
There is a need for more volunteers to help with projects and to show visitors around. Contact Museum President Billy Gray if you are interested, 620-795-2474.
