Perry would like to get input from the community about how the museum can better serve the Danville area. Perry would like to see the museum sponsor at least one historical exhibit a year, not to push arts aside, but to provide more programs for the community. She would like to see the museum work closely with the Danville Public Schools to incorporate exhibits with lessons schoolchildren are studying. There's a need to bring in exhibits to attract families. A children's fair with arts and crafts and ties to the 19th century could be done or perhaps the chance to try on reproduction period clothing.
Clothing is very popular.
The museum plans to sell bowls made from the large Southern Red Oak that was toppled by Hurricane Fran last week. The city has made arrangements with a separate craftsman to build a table out of the wood from the museum. She was married to Moncie Willard Adkins, who survives. She was a member of Midway Baptist Church. Interment will be in Gretna Burial Park.
