BARBARA DOMER: Valparaiso City Council District 3

Museums bring communities together! And we have a gem of a museum in Valparaiso. I attended today’s special curated free tour with Porter County Museum Visitor Experience Manager Quinn Albert. The tour included additional local stories, one being the story of a Civil war soldier from Valparaiso. The museum displays his ring, carved from the wood of an apple tree, and is pictured in this post. I was also very interested in viewing the V&N exhibit of Porter County’s Electric Interurban Rail Line. I hope you can check out the exhibit and the rest of the museum, which is also currently featuring artwork from the Philip Brockington collection. I encourage folks to visit the museum, which is open Tues-Sun from 11 AM to 5 PM. Admission is FREE and now is a great time to learn about some of the history of our community.
