 At left, Anita Schlaht, Executive Director of the Edmond Historical Society and Museum was our guest speaker June 5th. She is holding a Rodkey flour sack with a print which could be made into a very popular stuffed doll during the depression and up into the 50's. She also explained and some of us remember the flour sacks and animal feed sacks that were printed in attractive patterns to be used in dresses, shirts, quilting, and many useful handmade items. 
Anita told the club about all the renovations that the museum has been undergoing including asbestos removal, upgraded bathrooms, lead paint removal, other hazardous material present in armory storage units, etc. Also improvements have been made in lighting and HVAC systems.  Much more natural light is being made available and the displays are now more accessible and attractive. She invited everyone to drop by and see what is going on at the museum, Just south of second street on Boulevard adjoining Stephenson park.  You will also see the Rodkey House which has been renovated and is available for rental for parties and receptions, etc.
