As concern continues to grow in our community regarding the spread of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), we have made the decision to postpone our Women of Washington Township 2020 talk/event until later in the year. This is especially prudent for us, as many of our supporters and members are in the sensitive population age range. We will inform you when we have a new date chosen for this wonderful event, and we hope to see you at the museum when that time comes.
