I thought it would be fun to show you how tiny our City Hall used to be.  ( The photos are on file at the Delta County Museum and Historical Society or with the City of Delta)

Delta City Hall

Delta City Hall – from 1910 to 1962 – 3rd Street (where museum courtyard is today photo provided by  Jim Wetzel, Curator)

Below is the City Hall now….amazing how fast a town can grow from the above little office to what is needed today.

When I was a child what is now City Hall was a bank.  I think it was called The Bank and Trust or something of that nature.  I can remember going in there and putting money in my savings account.

I also remember how stunned I was that I didn’t get to have the exact money I took in back out…just a paper book with the amount written on a little square of how much I had with the bank.

 

This is the museum court yard today.  (Where the original City Hall stood)BellsIf you ever get a chance to stop by the bell collection is extremely nice, and the original log cabin is fascinating.  (I think I could be a pioneer, I really do.)

Our weather is very nice right now.  I got my yard put to bed and all the weeds pulled for the year.  Today I plan on cleaning the trucks, Terry’s pick-up and my car.  Then I will be taking Linki to soccer practice in the afternoon.

I hope this weather stays for some time, having this nice weather is really a gift for corn harvest.

No, we haven’t started corn harvest yet, maybe November 1st.  Terry will take some corn down and have it tested that day to see.  Everyone is gearing up, but the corn is still high moisture so we wait.

I hope everyone has a good day!
