This optional activity will allow the Bartholomew County Historical Society to benefit from having so many cultural heritage professionals in town! MRCG hopes to assist the BCHS with the condition assessment of some beloved objects in their collection to help them prioritize display and future treatment of collections. We will be focusing on some creche figures given to BCHS by Mrs. Xenia Miller.
