Lebanon Chamber Backs Curator At Glendower Museum
The Lebanon Chamber of Commerce urged Ohio Historical Society to retain Mrs Hazel Spencer Phillips as curator of Glendower Warren County Museum. The resolution asks for museum operations to follow the deed, reopen the museum, and restore all removed items while demanding return of articles to the museum. Over 10 000 visitors have seen the museum since it opened 13 years ago. Officials had called for Mrs Phillips resignation by April 1 or dismissal.
