Volunteers needed to help at Moreland museums Saturday
The Newnan Times-Herald
Volunteers are needed Saturday morning to help with moving items at the Old Mill Museum and the Erskine Caldwell Birthplace and Museum in downtown Moreland.
The project will start at 8:30 a.m. Reel Southern Adventures is working with the museums to upgrade their displays and bring more tourists to town.
Carol Chancey, who heads RSA, has met with the Moreland Community Historical Society, which operates the Old Mill Museum, and with the Caldwell Museum board. All souvenir sale items will be moving to the mill, and the household furnishings now in the Old Mill display will be relocated to the birthplace of Caldwell, a novelist who wrote such books as "God's Little Acre" and "Tragic Ground."
"Some of the display cases are going to shift around," Chancey said.
Volunteers are needed to help move the items. Chancey said furniture dollies and hand trucks with straps will also be helpful.
Chancey said RSA staff will make preparations for Saturday's project. "We're going to start moving the little stuff this week," she said Wednesday.
