The DeWitt County Museum is back open for the season but leadership has October on its mind.

While that signals the conclusion of another Apple n' Pork Festival, Director Joey Long indicates that also is the target for a special exhibit coming to the Museum. She feels it will be a one-of-a-kind experience.

According to Long, there is the possibility this new idea will also allow them to host a couple of special events.

Long is pleased to report that memberships are going up despite a trend around the State and country of memberships for local museums going down. She feels the Museum keeping its collection fresh and having great offerings like the morning customs exhibit in October are why people continue to renew and sign up.

The morning customs exhibit will be a part of the standard admission during its time starting in October. Long notes special events will have their own admission prices.
