Museum Moments (December 2022)

What Have We Been Up To This Month:
This month the museum has coordinated a display about a local pottery gem, the original Frankoma! The display is based around many of the Christmas pieces constructed by the company. The company was founded in 1933. The oldest piece on display for mass of ours, being a ceramic chieftain head as a class gift, dating back to 1942. Another thing of note is the Frankoma Christmas cards, our oldest being 1974. This is just a taste of what what we have to see!

We also had our annual Christmas Open House! We had many Christmas Chute visitors come in and check out what the town of Sapulpa is all about. We also had our annual volunteer luncheon. It was our last luncheon to be catered by our local Lebanese restaurant Freddie's B-B-Q and Steak House.
