The Perry Pocket Museum was created in 2019 to showcase local topics in history so that the community could have the opportunity to learn more about Perry. Perry Pride creates new displays yearly! Make sure to stop in and see the exhibit, maybe more than once!
Acknowledgement
Much of this would not be possible without the support of people in Perry Pride and people who have taken the time to write down Perry's History along with their personal stories and allow Perry Pride to put together these exhibits.
The Pocket Museum was made possible by donations to Perry Pride in honor of Marie Tyrrell Allen.
Bookstand designed and built by Jay Skelton.
Display cases designed and built by Bill Culver
Thank You!
