    3. rdea's asleep right now.....so I'm going to put in a museum plug while she's snoozing......Yes, there are still copies available.......They are normally $20.00....I think there was a sale going on for $l0.00.You can check and see. Since the estimated cost of an elevator to the carriage house(plans to use the Trotter office as a focal point for a country store setting)are $l6,000 thereabouts.....I am sure they could use the money. Also, don't forget to send your ancestor's recipe along with a short story about either the meal's history, cook, or origin of the recipe. The museum is trying to create a historical cook book to make money. Be sure your Drew County relative is included. Membership to the Historical Society is $25, and it includes a journal.......the new ones will be coming out shortly. Even if you can't be an active participant in the monthly meetings, buying a membership helps keep the journal and the museum and archives alive. The proceeds go to support the museum. Usually, journals are left over, and the museum has to absorb the cost. These journals have excellent historical articles which are mainly published by professors from UAM.....these historical articles are always about Drew County. Carolyn, yours should be on the way shortly.......unless you want to wait and have a new one included also. Also, the book by Mr. Willis on Arkansas and the Civil War is going to be sold by the museum, which will get $l5.00 of the cost for its use. If you've ever been to the archives, you will know that it has excellent genealogical sources, as well as historical information. It's a great place to research and should be preserved. Museum open on Fri.SAT from 1-5 Sunday open from 2-5 Drew County Historical Museum & ARCHIVES 404 S. Main Monticello, AR 7l655 870-367-7446 Ask for Mrs. Wilma Hankins or Mrs. Henri Mason or Mrs. Ruby Jeter......give them your name and address and they'll be happy to mail you a copy.
