HILDEBRAN — The Hildebran Town Council recently initiated installing patriotic banners in the downtown district to honor fallen veterans and their families beginning on Memorial Day.
I appreciate story suggestions, including one I recently got about the Hildebran Heritage Museum â that it was extremely well done and represented the town and the school. I called the museum and left a message. Retired Burke County Public Schools educator and current volunteer museum curator Johnny Childers returned my call. We agreed on a date and time for me to visit the museum at 202 South Center St.
Yes, itâs extremely well done â and well cared for. Not only was Johnny there, but I met four other volunteers in the space of one hour.
Before touring the museum, which is in the basement of Hildebranâs municipal auditorium across the street from Hildebranâs town hall, Johnny and I sat down in the conference room, so Johnny could share some background.
