Through the years, The Greenwood County Historical Society and Museum has benefitted from the work of volunteers who have helped in many ways such as doing research and setting up displays.
Following a recommendation from board member John Bills earlier this year, The Greenwood County Historical Society elected to recognize those who loyally provide aid. The board voted to award certificates to volunteers, beginning with a Volunteer of the Year for 2023, and then in preceding years, recognize volunteers quarterly.
The museum board was very pleased to present Janet Williams of Fall River with the Volunteer of the Year Award for 2023. Williams was presented a certificate at the April 2 Greenwood County Historical Society board meeting.
Williams has worked with board member Becky Lindamood to inventory and photograph the museum’s quilt collection, accession a large collection of dolls that were donated to the museum and to set up displays showcasing items used in the households of Greenwood County settlers.
Williams has shared her knowledge of quilting and needlework which has helped museum workers to identify and describe items in their collection so that visitors can gain a better understanding of the work that has gone into many of these items.
The Greenwood County Historical Society Museum is open Monday – Friday from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
