Master Gardeners
Our Master Gardeners have been a part of the Museum family since we opened in 2016.
We are so grateful for all their skill and hard work in keeping the museum looking Beautiful.
The Master Gardeners program is operated by the University of Illinois extension service. They have teams that work at multiple locations here in Macon County. The Staley Museum is fortunate to be one of them. All Gardeners are volunteers. The Staley Museum Team is pictured below. Members are:

National Volunteer Week:
Michael Slimbarski
Volunteering comes in many forms:
Michael (Slim) Slimbarski lives in Tennessee and is the retired Plant Manager of the Loudon Tennessee Staley-Tate & Lyle-Primient plant.
Recently Slim gave many hours of his time to help museum director, Laura Jahr, pull together a wonderful oral history program with Loudon Retirees. Michael used his managerial talent to coordinate interview schedules, transcribe interviews and help plan a retiree mingle event.
Without him the museum could have never pulled this off. We are so very grateful. ♥️ ... See MoreSee Less
