Representatives of the Centralia Area Historical Musuem offered updates on their mission and progress during the October luncheon of the Centralia Chamber of Commerce, for which the museum served as a first-time host.

Museum board president, Jessiycka Nix-Coleman, accompanied by executive director Mike Middleton, said the museum was planning many updates to its building, including new carpet on the second floor, as well as a new fence, awning and sign.

Coleman added that the museum is currently working on a website, improving curation methods, and putting focus on becoming more prevalent in the local and regional communities.
