Earlier this year, the museum announced plans to turn its calf barn into the Broomfield Center for Leadership; it will house retired U.S. Rep. William S. Broomfield's personal papers and Cold War artifacts.

Read more about that effort by Patch history writer Tiffany Dziurman-Stozicki, who interned for Broomfield in Washington, D.C. And if you're curious, ask museum workers about it today. You'll see the calf barn on your way in.

Can't wait to see you there!
