"Once a year we like to have an event to recognize our donors, our volunteers and our members, anyone who had a hand in the success of the museum."

Kerr credits the volunteers for the success of events like the High River Haunted Halloween and the Historic Homes tour.

"The Historic Homes Tour we do every two years and this year was our ninth. It was a huge success this year, we raised about $11,000 thanks to over 70 volunteers."

She says not only is their volunteer appreciation but it's also the museums 55th Anniversary.
