WACHTENDORF

This public event will take place on Sunday, May 7th beginning at 9:00 a.m. Parking is restricted to the South Lot.

Anyone touring is being asked to bring a nonperishable item to be donated to the local Food Pantry. Each tour will be guided by either a retired or current staff member who will be able to provide details regarding the operation of the 176-year-old facility.

There will not be an elevator available that day so participants should be able to use stairs and do a considerable amount of walking. The last tour will be offered beginning at 4:30 pm, so it is recommended to be early.
