The docents at the Allen County Museum are volunteers who help out in a variety of ways, including leading school and adult tours, guiding visitors around the museum and volunteering for special events. This week is a chance for people interested in the docent program to learn more about what they do, and to give veteran docents the opportunity to hear more about different subjects.
Residents were taken back to 1875 - 1900 in order to experience what life was like in Lima back then. A variety of items were on display -- showcasing a vintage look, that immersed them as if they were actually there. Different booths were set up replicating a general store as well as a school. Another room showed a recreation of Lima's railway system back during that time period, complete with model trains and more.
