New for the spring
The decorations have been removed but there is still much to see at the Hays-Heighe House! Our inaugural exhibit, Made by Hand, will be on display for only a few more weeks, so be sure to see it before some panels are removed!

The open hours are the same for the spring, Tuesdays 1-3 PM and Fridays 10AM -Noon. Check the blog for updates on these exhibits and stop by for a break from classes and the office!
