Drive-Thru BBQ a Huge Success!
Yes, it looked different from our traditional annual BBQ, but the food was delicious, the community came in droves, and the food pick-up went off without a hitch!
Chaired by Chuck Hunter with the assistance of many volunteers, our 32nd annual BBQ generated funds to keep the Resource Center, Museum, and grounds operating – Thank you to ALL!

The first Saturday of January work was begun on constructing a small storage shed which will be used to house items from Homer’s Shed as it goes through a transformation. Work on that has already begun, and as this picture shows it will eventually tell a story rather than simply display the artifacts it currently is filled with. 
The Breakers work every Monday and Wednesday from 9:00am until approximately 1:00pm. Liberal break time is built into this time frame, and laughter and fellowship are an integral part of our activities. We are always looking for new members. No skills are required, only a desire to help. 
The grounds of the ECCHS Museum are alive with the sound of children each Fall and Spring as third graders travel back in time to learn the history of their local area. Morning tours of the Byer-Nail House, Toolshed, and Grounds give them good background information for an afternoon of activities as they do Chores, play Games, and attend School as they would have done in 1888.
Include your family name on a brick to be placed in the new garden area and around the Resource Room to be built.
Your name will appear on a small plaque on the back of a school desk lovingly restored for the Eden Plain Schoolhouse.
