The 50th Anniversary Celebration of Ruthmere Museum is a once in a lifetime event! Everyone is aware that Ruthmere knows how to throw a party, but what happens when we celebrate several milestones honoring the past while at the same time revealing the vision for a new exciting future addition to Ruthmere Campus?  This event is full and we will see you there!
