The Sights and Sounds of Spring....       Did you know?....... There were many local manufacturers of lawn mowers?       Christian Tipton, a local high school student from Munden has restored 4 lawnmowers manufactured in Munden by MIlo Skala for a  4-H project.   Christian has graciously lent two of his retored lawnmowers to the Museum to display during the month of April.  One is a self-propeled lawnmower and the other is more of a trimmer.    Milo Skala built the lawnmowers starting in the 1920's until WWII and then after the war he built them into the 1950's.   So why not stop by the Museum and look them over!  Better yet, why not come to our meeting Monday, April 1 and hear what Chris has to say about them!       COME SEE WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER!
