PUTNAM — It started with some messages through the Aspinock Facebook platform wanting to know if we would like a donation of some General Israel Putnam memorabilia, according to Mike Bogdanski, chair of the Aspinock Historical Society Public Relations.
Of course the answer is a huge yes. This is how we met Frank Racette.
Racette walked into the museum with a large box and a big smile. One by one the contents came out with oohs and ahs over each piece.
Bogdanski said you can see the great treasures at the museum in the Municipal Complex — books, postcards, art and even a pin from a Cracker Jack box.
The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
