During the month of April, boxes will appear to collect nominations for present buildings, structures, sites, groups or a significant person (living or dead) that you consider a "Wonder of Ashland". Voting of the top 15 nominations will take place during June, July and August. 25 cents equals one vote. ($1.00 equals 4 votes). We encourage you to "stuff the ballot box". email your nomination to : ashlandhistory@centurytel.net   Community Collection Nook Do you collect something that you would like to share with the community? We have set aside a section of the Museum for just that purpose! We call it our "Community Collection Nook". **One of our volunteers, Shirley Tarasewicz, has agreed to display her Teapot collection to start off this new project. Her teapots will be on display until the end of May. Stop in to see her teapots and talk to us about displaying your collection. If your collection doesn't take up much space, you can share the space with another collector.   New Panoramic Photo The Museum has recently received a panoramic photo of the John Schroeder Lumber Company (1910). We have had requests for reprints and have them on order. the reprints sell for $35.00 each.

Photos: -Ashland's Neighborhood Grocery Stores  - 

The museum has very little information about the many grocery stores that stood on the corners of Ashland neighborhoods. We have their names and addresses, but would love to create a photo and memory file of these stores. If you have a photo of the grocery store in your neighborhood, please bring it to the Museum so we can scan it for our files, or email the photo to us. Please scan the photo at 300dpi or higher.  If you have any stories, please share them with us by writing them down and bring or send them to  us. Without your photos or stories, the history of these neighborhood stores will not be complete.
