Aimee Haslet, our summer intern, completed a variety of tasks at the History Museum this past summer. Her latest projects included a re-organization of our Heritage Room and the creation of several PowerPoint presentations for guests to use during tours. She also spent a great deal of time synchronizing the inventory of accessions and the room inventories. Aimee has completed three summers of work for us at the museum and has been a real asset to the Forest County Historical Society. We wish her all the best in her third year of college at Clarion University! Thank you Aimee!
