Clues ranging from dreaming big and risk taking to perseverance and cooperation were all part of the Mystery at the Museum as outlined by Dr. Cleion Morton to members of the Geary County Historical Society Monday evening. The occasion was the 50th anniversary celebration of the Historical Society.

Referring to Geary County history, Morton explained it's the people that make the difference. "Our future is impacted positively because of people who went before us, reflected these clues and created what we now call history."

That history has ranged from the purchase of the current museum building by Fred Bramlage and it's donation to parades, Chautauqua, the sesquicentennial celebration and creation of a Black History Trail of Geary County.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Morton noted that the Geary County Historical Museum is a stage of sorts, "for those stories to continue to inspire and challenge the next generation. Clues, they're important. "

Morton added that Mahatma Gandhi put it best. "If we are to make progress we must not repeat history but make new history. We must add to the inheritance left by our ancestors. That is the Mystery at the Museum."
