In April, we lost a very special and loyal volunteer and board member, Mike Warren! He served here at the museum many years contributing in so many ways! Our sympathy to his wife Connie Warren! Mike was honored yesterday in Washington, DC and at the Evansville Airport last evening as the Honor Flight returned back home! Mike was suppose to go on the Honor Flight this spring but illness prevented that. Mike had served in the US Navy for 22 years. A few photos of last evening at EVV. You are missed Mike! ...

Will this be a permanent exhibit?

I’m so glad you had a good turnout. I would have loved to have been there but we are back home in Texas. Sharing on my history page.

I was there for the ribbon cutting, it was great. And had a derrs strawberry float.

Love my hometown

It was a great event. I'm so glad Randy and Ken's labor of love, skill, and life long friendship will be enjoyed by museum visitors for years to come. And thank you to the donors who made it possible.

Congrats on a GREAT new addition! 😍🙌

Great job, Warrick County Museum!

Special thanks to Boonville Fire Department for moving the pump organ that came from the Ebenezer German Methodist Church, east of Boonville, to the museum. It was donated by Marilyn Welch. They also were able to see the new train room which has its grand opening on Aug. 2. ... See MoreSee Less

Putting those muscles to work.

I am the last generation of the Metz family that attended Ebenezer United Methodist Church was had been referred to as the "German Methodist Church" by the old-time members. According to stories handed down through the Metz family, one of my Great-Grandpa Metz's brothers played that organ and couldn't read a note of music. Oh, how I remember that none of us kids were allowed to touch that organ!

Marilyn’s Grandmother Alma Seitz and my Grandmother Esther Bracher were sisters. They attended Ebenezer UMC. Maiden name was Nonweiler Their mother Sarah was from the Roth family .

Impressive

I know those guys!! Great team. But one of them seems different than the others. Anybody!?

Great help!

Awesome… thanks guys

Thanks to people of the fire department for moving the organ. Super job

How wonderful!

I cant wait to see the new train room I have heard so many good things about all the hard work and how awesome it is!
