The Stearns History Museum is hosting an Open House and Member Appreciation Lunch Wednesday.

Executive Director Tim Hoheisel says “This is just a small way for us to say ‘thanks’ to our members.”

Visitors will receive free admission to the museum from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. while a hot dog lunch is served outside on the plaza from 11:30 a.m. until 1 p.m.

Lunch is free to current museum members and to new members who sign up at the open house; otherwise, a small cost is required.
