WOW!! Gidley is still roaming the county and getting closer and closer to coming back home to the Callaway County Historical Society Museum!

And look at that thermometer—it’s getting closer to our $100,000 goal, too!

Keep following Gidley along the way as he continues his journey around the county, helping us spread the word about the 3R’s Campaign — Remediate, Renovate & Renew and learning a little bit about Callaway County history.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has donated to the 3R’s Campaign so far. Every donation brings us one step closer to our goal and closer to welcoming everyone back to the museum!

Keep Gidley moving and keep that thermometer rising! https://secure.givelively.org/donate/kingdom-of-callaway-historical-society/3-r-s-remediate-renovate-renew

We had lots of meetings, one was about the final details for the Slice of Callaway on Sunday the 13th, and the one I've been stressing out about for awhile, my mock-presentation about the Callaway U.S.C.T!

Looks like Gidley wandered over to Hatton! Did you know that Hatton was established in 1881 and was originally called Brighton, named for the Bright family who lived in the area? Most everyone knows Hatton for its annual Craft Day. This year marks the 54th annual event, taking place on October 3rd. What a wonderful tradition! Want to learn more about Hatton and its history?

Gidley decided to take a break today and found a nice, quiet place!

Keep following along as Gidley travels across Callaway County, visiting historical sites and organizations before making his way back home to the Kingdom of Callaway Historical Society Museum on Court Street!

Gidley has more adventure ahead of him, and there are so many interesting places to discover right here in Callaway County. Where will he wander next?

Looks like Gidley stopped by to see if Shryock's corn maze is ready yet! He heard it opens to the public in just 2 weeks! Speaking of corn… did you know that Callaway County farmers harvest between 3 million and 4.6 million bushels of corn for grain each year? That’s an impressive 16,000 to 26,000 acres of corn harvested annually! But corn is the second-largest crop in Callaway County, behind soybeans, our county’s primary cash crop.

Gidley is learning a lot as he travels around Callaway County! Where will he wander next? If you haven't pitched in to help Gidley on his journey yet, there's still time!
