She also helped fund the restoration of the museum building and helped organize events such as Civil War Days, sponsored history programs in Perry County schools, sponsored essay contests, and initiated many other preservation activities. Last year, she supported and encouraged the purchase of a two-story log tavern in Somerset. Built in 1807, it is the oldest log tavern structure in the state, built when Thomas Jefferson was President of the United States. She also led the Historical Society's membership drive to help increase membership in the organization.
