“We’ve covered the walls in the downstairs gallery with artwork from 18 county artists,” said Kathy Monds, executive director.

“It’s an exciting array of pastels, oils, charcoal drawings, watercolors, prints and includes one monoprint,” she said.

Another section displays signs from businesses and organizations.

It’s a visit to the past to see signs from Rosemary Inn, Harringtons, Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co. and the Woman’s Literary Club.

In addition, several display cases are filled with items that will jog the memories of many visitors.
