Winters Businesses
Help with upcoming museum exhibit!
The Winters Museum is asking the community for help in gathering photos, artifacts and stories about current and past businesses. Our next exhibit is scheduled for January 2025, but we are developing it now!
Businesses come and go in Winters as they do everywhere. Many businesses have survived through multiple generations. Some downtown buildings have a rich history of housing various types of businesses.
Our new exhibit will include restaurants, car dealerships, banks, bars, insurance companies, service stations, antique stores, barbers/hairstylists, bakeries and more! Do you have any photos, artifacts, and stories that you can contribute? We can scan photos so you keep the originals, artifacts can be on loan, and your stories can be printed and shared.
At present, we are planning to span many decades but we will see what our research turns up and perhaps we will concentrate on specific decades (50s and 60s?) and/or buildings (Greenwoods for example).
If any of you would like to join our exhibits committee and help with this exhibit, please let us know! Contact the Winters Museum at wintersmuseum@gmail.com to let us know what you have to offer or how you would like to help.
Thank you.
