The Grand Opening of the IBAHS museum site at 203 Second Street (also known as the Big Red Building and Gardiner Improvement Building) was amply attended this past December 3rd and 4th. Isleton Mayor Christopher Stokes cut the opening day ribbon and building owner Steve Rosenthal was presented a commemorative plaque by Joani Johnson. About 75 patrons witnessed the opening ceremonies. December 3 saw a total attendance tally of 110 patrons, some monetary donations, and sales of t-shirts and books. December 4 had a total attendance tally of 41 attendees and also some donations.
Opening hours of the museum are from 12pm - 3pm on Saturdays with the exception of December 17 through January 7. As the weather improves opening hours may be extended in the future. We are gladly accepting volunteers to be museum docents. Please contact museum Curator Ed Concepcion at (916) 777-4426 for details. The museum is also accepting private viewing tours by appointment. Again, please contact Curator Ed Concepcion at (916) 777-4426 for more information.
The museum is putting out the call for any and all photo information on anything of and about the Isleton Brannan-Andrus area for future exhibitions in the museum. We will scan photos so you can keep your original. Other artifacts for showing in the museum are welcome as well. Please make arrangements with President Charlene Andersson at (916) 777-5186 or Curator Ed Concepcion.
