May 5, 2025 - The Shelby County Museum was gifted with two new flags, an American Flag and a Texas Flag, at their location on Thursday, May 1, 2025 by the local WoodmenLife Chapter 250.
Those attending recited the Pledge of Allegiance one more time before removing the flags and installing the new ones. WoodmenLife Recruiting Sales Manager, Chris Green, advised a Boy Scout Troop in his area would retire the flags properly.
Venora McSwain a member of the board of the Shelby County Museum shared, "I just want to thank Woodmen Life for presenting the Shelby County Museum with the new flags."
The Shelby County Museum located at 230 Pecan Street is open Monday - Friday from 1pm to 4pm thanks to volunteers. To visit the museum online, visit http://www.shelbycountytexashistory.net/.
WoodmenLife was founded in 1890 as a not-for-profit life insurance company. The company reinvests its profits back into its mission, supporting members and communities rather than making money for shareholders.
