The Valley Falls Historical Society Museum's seasonal window scene for August consists of scores of Jefferson County, Kan., automobile license plates with issue dates as early as 1939.
Displayed against a traditional 4-H exhibit mural backdrop, painted by local artist Susan Phillips, the license plates accompanied by a series of mega photos of Jefferson County and local citizens in their vehicles of past years, honor the antique cars and drivers participating in the 4-H parade. Welcome to the 12 4-H clubs, 325 members, and 124 adult leaders!
The veterans' window features the American Eagle, symbol of liberty. A colorful eagle symbol plaque, attached to a dark blue background and surrounded by miniature American flags, and military company service flags with select eagle figurines in the foreground, complete the August window display.
The society's museum will be open at 10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 9.
