One project has been completed and another is ongoing at the Adams County Historical Society’s Dugan Museum in Decatur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Society officials praised the efforts of Robin’s Stained Glass Studio in Fort Wayne for helping recreate leaded glass patterned sidelights in the museum’s vestibule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis was not a short nor easy project, but the end results were beautiful,\u201d officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also thanked the Adams County Community Foundation for a grant which helped finish the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original patterned sidelights were stolen many years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, two historical society board members, Jack Bertsch and Walt Reiter, sanded the solid oak floors throughout the first floor of the museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Included are the cigar room, library, foyer, inglenook, dining room, vestibule and grand stairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staining the floors recently started and will likely take up most of the month of May, officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn between sanding and staining, other volunteers have stepped up to devoid the rooms of all the sanding dust. It is quite the job,\u201d they noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The museum is located on Monroe St., between Fourth and Fifth streets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
