The ladies of Leeds who volunteer their time and effort to strengthen what the Bass House Museum has to offer its patrons are the kind of citizens who make communities that much stronger.People like Jewel Lee, Dr. Sara Lou McLaughlin, Betty Ingram, Evelyn Mitchell and Christine Marsicano developed a drawing card for the museum – a collection of Yoshino cherry tree china teapots – which are on display at the museum until June 1.
The exhibit has a dual meaning. It, of course, allows patrons to see the pieces that date back as far as 125 years. But it also features the Yoshino cherry tree, which is closely associated with Leeds with more than 2,500 of them planted throughout the city.
We commend the volunteers for coming up with a novel idea for a museum exhibit and their help in attracting visitors to help share in the pride of what the city has to offer.
