Hastings Heritage Center held a grand opening from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 4, with many residents attending.
When the new library opened in Hastings, it was decided to utilize the old library building as a Heritage Center to display all of the historical items which had been donated over many years.
The center contains items from early Hastings history including: photos from all of the graduating classes from Hastings High School and Hastings Elder High School.
It also contains the histories of the Hastings churches and community organizations, a military display and many artifacts from the various industries and businesses that operated in the town from the early 1900s
The center will be open to the public from 2 to 4 p.m. Wednesdays.
Special presentations will be announced with the first being a video presentation of "Our Memories of Growing Up in Hastings," a project developed by Dee Werner, former library director.
The videos were filmed by Garfield "Gordy" Fredo and will be shown as special events.
The first one will feature Wendell and Virginia Rouch (both now deceased) and will be shown at 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, at the Heritage Center.
The public is invited to attend.
