Eagle Station museum ensures local veterans are Never Forgotten

A grand opening for the Never Forgotten Museum, a new veterans museum in Patterson’s Eagle Station, was held Thursday evening, March 20.

Approximately 160 people attended the ribbon cutting, 25 of them local veterans, many of whom contributed personal effects or other memorabilia to the many displays.

Creation of the museum was spearheaded by Patterson High School alumnus Frances Thomas Wilbers. Wilbers personally cut the blue ribbon to mark the official opening of what had once begun as a high school project.
