Museum program

STRATTON – The Dead River Area Historical Society Museum will host an hour with Charlie Bruce, a local singer, at 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 24.

Bruce will sing Jud Strunk’s hit song, “A Daisy a Day.” People may visit the Jud Strunk exhibit with memorabilia donated by his sons. The display includes Jud’s guitar, posters and photographs of the popular singer/songwriter of the 70s.

John and Ruey Balwin will host the museum as well on that day. Ruey grew up in Flagstaff and was author of the book, “There Was a Land.”

The museum is open every weekend from Memorial Weekend to Labor Day Weekend from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. as well as year-round by appointment. It is located at the junction of Routes 27 and 16 in the village of Stratton.

Displays include a collection of old carpentry and logging tools, china, glass, church organ, furniture from native families, a complete schoolroom, a memorial room to the “lost” towns of Flagstaff and Dead River, the lineage of several native families, and a host of memorabilia from native homesteads. Artifacts, manuscripts, photographs, etc. have been donated or loaned from interested townspeople and descendants of the Dead River areas providing collections from 1850 with all of the artifacts given from the original families of the Dead River Region.

Each Saturday throughout the summer the museum is hosted by Ryan Wing, whose ancestors came from Flagstaff. A great deal of knowledge has been handed down to him about Flagstaff and the Dead River area. Sundays are hosted by local volunteers who grew up in the area or are familiar with the exhibits. A directory is provided.
