Keeping Memories Alive

2008-02-04T13:05:00.000-08:00

A visit to the Raymond Historical Museum is a wonderful way to spend a leisurely afternoon, to be sure; the hidden treasures within the museum's walls will likely transport you to a completely different time. Step back to the era when Raymond's main economy was fueled by sugar beets; when roads were made of dirt and gravel, and the cashier at The Merc knew his customers by name.

But visiting the Museum is more than a study of the past--it is a hands-on adventure into the Golden Days. Entering its doors, visitors will be assailed by the sights and sounds of Raymond's history. Imagine how the early residents arrived in Raymond, and marvel at the original covered wagon some of them likely used as transportation. Admire the original piano played in Raymond's first LDS church, and learn which building that church later became. Both seasoned residents who remember living through those days, and youngsters who wish to satisfy their curiosity about how things used to be, will find something to thrill within the Raymond Historical Museum.

Certainly, the museum is a quaint place to spend an afternoon--but it is so much more:

Passing stories down from generation to generation. Remembering the foundation on which this town was built. Preserving precious history--keeping memories alive.
