Staley Museum In The News
Building Beyond the Kit: Staley Museum’s New Lego Model
Celebrate Women's History Month at the Staley Museum in March.
The Museum would like to thank The Record Herald News and staff writer, Doris Elmore, for the beautiful write up they recently published about our Lego Event.
Doris took the time to come to our event and write a wonderful story about the Staley Office Building and our new Lego model created by Lauren Taylor.
If you haven’t stopped in yet to see it, please do!
Also, you are still in time to see the other Lego builds created by Decatur’s very own Dr. Bob Carney. Dr. Carney’s creations will be on display until the end of September. If you love Lego, you won’t want to miss this exhibit!
Staley Museum hours are Tuesday-Saturday 1-4 pm
Admission is $3 adult & $1 for 17 and under.
It is with great sadness that we join our sister museum in mourning the passing of Betty Wheatley.
While Betty spent her career at the Mueller Co., her husband, Tom, was a Staley man. Betty gave of herself and her time supporting not only these two museums, but many other cultural endeavors in our community.
Her smile, her heart and her joy for life will be greatly missed.
Our deepest condolences to her loved ones. ♥️

Betty was such a delightful lady. We will truly miss her.
Missing her. I had the pleasure of knowing her in recent years, as we both attended PEO Supper Club regularly together. She touched so many lives.
I had the pleasure of her acquaintance. She was a sweet soul. I appreciated her common sense on many occasions.
Mr. Staley Was Here!

As summer comes to an end, so do Mr. Staley’s adventures and explorations of Local Decatur businesses.
He has been amazed at the changes he has found but also impressed in all that has been preserved.
He will be taking some time off now, but expects to show up here and there for special appearances.

Mr. Staley Was Here!
There is no more iconic site or one that inspires more nostalgia for Decatur people near and far than Kreckel’s .
In particular, the original Kreckel’s on Rt. 36.
While Kreckel’s was established in 1949, the Rt. 36 location existed as “Dairy Maid” prior to becoming Kreckel’s Dairy Maid. Later other locations in Decatur and Springfield were added and family ownership has continued.
Their signature crispy edged hamburger has become a local favorite and for Decatur natives that have moved to other states or communities, it is a “ must have” when they come back for visits.
Mr. Staley applauds not only this local business’s longevity but the love and loyal following it has earned in our community.
Support Local! ♥️
