When Alex Minnick first set foot in the Eldred World War II Museum, where he’s spent four years volunteering, he “was immediately entranced by how the museum is organized,” he said.
The junior at Mount Aloysius College in Cresson has been volunteering at the museum since he was in high school. He’s given tours, researched artifacts and taken inventory, but the political science and history major isn’t stopping there. Upon graduation next year, Minnick will take over as the museum’s curator en route to achieving his dream in a subject area he holds dear.
