The Adams County Historical Society’s restoration effort of the library at the Dugan Museum in Decatur has been completed after approximately three weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The society’s volunteers are now turning to restoring the museum’s lobby \u2026 when new funding can be secured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volunteers removed the wallpaper in the library \u2013 and some of the plaster came with it \u2013 in order to prepare it for Limberlost Construction Co. of Geneva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Limberlost completed the work, skim-coating the walls and removing the popcorn ceiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Baker did the painting work, including refurbishing the room’s fireplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The historical society also is in the process of having lead glass panels made to replace what was stolen over 30 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, the exterior lead glass windows were replaced and will go in the vestibule. That project was aided by a grant from the Adams County Community Foundation (ACCF)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEW MEMBER: Kathy Brown was recently approved to fill a vacant seat on the historical society’s board of director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
