On Thursday, May 9, 2024, the Oneida Pioneer Museum hosted youth groups throughout the day. The Malad Elementary School third grade stopped at the Museum as part of their annual spring walking tour of downtown Malad. Museum Board members Dotty Evanson and Hailey Willie told the students about some of the artifacts in the Museum, and the students played a “Seek and Find” game created by Hailey. The goal of the game is to find the items pictured on the game sheet among the many artifacts displayed at the Museum.

Later in the evening, the Cub Scouts of the Malad City Troop, led by Charlene Chabries, visited the Museum as part of their “gizmos and gadgets” activity. Museum Board Chair Jean Thomas told about some of the gadgets on display in the Museum, and then the Cub Scouts played the “Seek and Find” game. 

For those in the community who are not members of the third grade classes, never fear—the museum will be opening soon for its season.  

Residents and visitors will have the opportunity to visit the Museum as it will open for the summer on Saturday, May 25. The mezzanine will once again be accessible to visitors, and everyone is invited to see new additions to the Museum’s collections.  The annual bake sale on the 25th will mark the beginning of the summer season for the Museum.
