Four Marion County museums are featured in a regional museum crawl this year.
Coal Ridge Church & Museum, Marion County Historical Society, Melcher-Dallas Coal Mining & Heritage Museum, and the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum will all participate in Museum Days Live, a 17 museum collaboration, which celebrates the history & culture of small, rural communities. Picking up a passport at any participating museum and visiting a minimum of 3 museums will enter visitors in a drawing to win an original watercolor by Iowa artist Laura Lengeling and a subscription to the Smithsonian magazine. Museum Days begins today and will continue tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
