Though a winter scene like the one below may seem out of season, this iconic image captures the spirit of OD & Tillie Frank's Friendship Fireplace. Around this hearth, the Franks gathered with neighbors, friends, and students to share a love of nature, a love of learning and ultimately a love for community. The POCO Museum will be opening the exhibit that features a nod to this fireplace and honors the spirit of those who gathered around it during their lives in the Hour Glass. We can think of no better way to start the summer season here at the Museum - a season that is sure to bring new discoveries, new friends and new inspiration.
