Mennonite Heritage Museum kicks off spring with local artists on exhibition
GOESSEL – The Mennonite Heritage Museum will be celebrating the beginning of its spring hours on March 2 with an exhibition of quilting and carving art by local couple Martha and Clarence Klassen.
Museum Director Fern Bartel has made a point to bring in local artists and new exhibitions to the museum.
“I think this is tremendous. Too many times I hear, ‘Oh, I’ve been to the museum.’ and so it’s awesome to have this coming up. There are items people have not seen, and they feature local people, which I think is just the best thing ever,” Bartel said.
