PHOTO OF THE DAY: CLEAN-UP DETAIL

David Schrag vacuums the base of the Russian oven inside the historic Deckert House located on the campus of Heritage Hall Museum & Archives in Freeman last Thursday, July 22. Schrag and other board members have been working inside the 142-year-old house as part of a renovation project that included a move onto a new foundation and a relocation on museum grounds. Museum officials are planning to reopen the Deckert House in the spring of 2022 with an interactive kiosk — a project made possible by a grant from the Freeman Community Foundation.
