Improvement work continues at Gibbon Heritage Center
Wed, 07/02/2025 - 3:12pm
With the help of grant funding, work to make improvements at the Gibbon Heritage Center is continuing in the form of crews doing “tuck pointing” on the building’s exterior in between bouts of rain. Tuck pointing involves repairing mortar joints between the bricks to improve a building’s appearance as well as structural integrity. Other ongoing projects at the center includes cleaning, reorganizing items in a more viewer friendly fashion, updating records, cataloging of items, and some down sizing of items.
