Perhaps you have noticed a good-looking tree (flowering crab) that has been planted
on the NW corner of the Russell Historical Society. It is planted in honor of
the work Betty Cross has contributed to the Museum/Library.
Story-Time at the Museum/Library
The Russell Museum/Library is
pleased to be offering Story-Time with Jennifer Bear, kindergarten teacher at
Columbus in Chariton. They will resume on Monday, July 11 and 18 at 2 p.m. For
ages four through six.
Shop
Local
In the past years, Russell has
seen the decline/departure of some businesses because they were not utilized
enough to keep them in town. Faithful,conscientious citizens can prevent this
from happening by buying local. You can help by purchasing your insurance
needs, buying stamps/mailing packages, using check-out facilities for
media/books, purchase hot food, refrigerated items, reserves rooms for small
groups with or without food, enjoy entertainment, buy gasoline in the summer
months and enjoy coffee with your neighbors.
