The museum would like to thank AMM board member Marsha Lambert who this week hosted the Marshall Chapter of American Association of University Women at the museum for a Women’s History Month program. Featured during this event were two great books about magical women, Connie Boyd's "The Power of Magical Women" and Mara Rockliff's "Anything But Ordinary Addie: The True Story of Adelaide Herrmann, Queen of Magic."
Thanks Marsha, for making Women's History Month Magical!
