MuseumWeekThis week is the first-ever, international #MuseumWeek on Twitter! We are so excited to be participating in this event and joining over 800 museums from around the world to bring you behind-the-scenes of our museum. Twitter’s week dedicated to our cultural institutions is aimed at uniting our global community and bringing a fun dimension to our collections – letting you all see different aspects of our daily work!

For this week (as always), we encourage all our supporters, friends, visitors, and residents to participate and follow #MuseumWeek and each day’s specific hashtag (listed below). We will be posting every day and hope that you ask questions and recommend posts for us to share with you!

To follow the Lake County Historical Society on Twitter, check us out at @lakesociety.
