Carol-ing in a Youngstown museum

Beacon Journal Accounting Department retiree Carol Eubank took time off from her  Portage Lakes Kiwanis Club, Portage Lakes Historical Society and Greystone Building activities in downtown Akron to enjoy the Arms Family Museum in Youngstown.

Carol, a 1957 Coventry High grad who lives in Portage Lakes, was with Bev Fry, a Green High grad, and Pauline, whose last name I don’t have.

Wrote Bev:

“Fun day at the Arms Museum in Youngstown with Carol and Pauline. All decorated with vintage Christmas decorations. Frosty joined us also.”

Greystone, the magnificent Arts & Crafts style residence of Olive A. and Wilford P. Arms is preserved a century later as The Arms Family Museum of Local History. On the first floor, in original period rooms, are examples of the Arms’ love of handicraft, medieval architecture and design and the natural environment.

The lower level and second floor feature exhibits that explore the history of people who have lived in the Mahoning Valley.
