For those who are alumni of any Putnam City School, the PC Schools Museum Committee operates the district museum at NW 40 and Grove (housed on what alumni will recall as the old Waggoner's store.) The museum contains several thousand artifacts including all PC high school yearbooks dating to 1924, school newspapers, photos, etc. Hours are 10-2 each Saturday, and the museum can be opened by appointment for reunion groups and special tours. It is a most impressive collection which was bequeathed to the museum by the district archivist and which has grown significantly in the past two years.

In celebration of the PC district centennial, the museum (a 501-c-3 nonprofit) is publishing a printed history of PC schools, with publication set for the fall of 2013. For pre-ordering information, or to submit a personal story for inclusion in the book, go to the museum website at putnamcityschoolsmuseum.com. Deadline for stories is March 1.

Any inquiries concerning the museum or the book can be directed to the email address on the museum website or to Mike Brake, museum committee chairman, at brakescribe@cox.net.

We invite PC alumni, former teachers and the interested public to visit the museum any Saturday.
