At their annual meeting on Saturday, October 26, the Washington County Historical Society presented the Pember with the 2019 President’s Award. The award is in recognition of the Pember writing a grant that was awarded and for successfully installing an elevator allowing the museum to be accessible to all patrons. Accepting the reward on behalf of the Pember was Bernadette Hoffman. Following the annual meeting, members of the WCHS visited the Museum with Bernadette presenting background information on Franklin Pember and the collection.
