Opens with a tribute to Elizabeth Miller, a longtime museum volunteer and former director who chaired the Festival of Trees and the Ladies’ Teas and cared for the museum’s vintage clothing collection, who died June 22 after a battle with lung cancer.

Also covers: the nearly-finished kitchen remodel, dedicated at the May 31 General Meeting to Les and Sandy Weidenhamer (Les was a former historical society president); the annual Quilt Show, held during the Paulding County Fair and drawing about 120 visitors to see 70 quilts; a new parade float built from a donated flatbed wagon; a CCAO/CEAO county-leaders meeting hosted at the museum; a recap of the ATHS Vintage Truck Show’s founding in 2000, ahead of its 25th running on Sept. 20, 2026; plans for the Sept. 19 Antique Tractor Show and an August “Family Fun Night”; a volunteer call for this year’s Festival of Trees (“A Few of My Favorite Things”); and a list of recent donations, including a 7-1/2-inch gauge steam locomotive, caboose, and track from local collector Stan Searing.
