Profile

2025-2026 projects have included a new mural on the south side of the Veterans Park and Museum. This mural was painted by local artist, Luke Lott. The mural includes a QR code that can be scanned for more information. In the future, more features in the park will have QR codes so that visitors can take a self-guided tour. Local 4H volunteers have started opening the museum on the first Saturday of each month (more volunteers are always needed) to welcome guests and show them around. Saturdays include Q & A during "Visit With A Veteran," where local veterans come and speak about their military service.

The Popup Shop was launched in 2026 in the space on the north side of the Veterans Museum. Vendors set up on the first Saturday of most months, and offer items such as home-baked goods, candles, jewelry, clothing, art work, and much more. Reinvent will also be setting up this same space as an event room available for rent.
