The Greenwood County Historical Society and Museum has benefitted through the years from the work of volunteers that have helped in many ways such as doing research and setting up displays. Society board member John Bills suggested at the February board meeting that recognition should be given to these loyal helpers of the Historical Society. The board voted to award certificates to volunteers beginning with a Volunteer of the Year for 2023 award and then recognizing volunteers each quarter of the coming years.
The museum board was very pleased to present Janet Williams of Fall River with the Volunteer of the Year 2023 certificate at the April 2nd board meeting.
Janet has worked with board member Becky Lindamood to inventory and photograph our quilt collection, accession a large collection of dolls that were donated to the museum, and to set up displays showcasing items used in the households of Greenwood County settlers.
Janet has shared her knowledge of quilting and needlework and this has helped museum workers to identify and describe items in our collection so that visitors can gain a better understanding of the work that has gone into many of these items in our collections.
The Greenwood County Historical Society Museum is open Monday – Friday from 10 – 4. Come in and enjoy the history of our county preserved by dedicated volunteers like Janet.
