"Mrs. Christian has been assisting with museum projects for nearly 12 years, so the honor and celebration of her achievements by museum staff and board members is most appropriate," said Mrs.

George M. Cochran, co-chair of the museum's development committee. "Without her help, there would be many projects and visitor amenities that simply would not be in place." Some of the projects Mrs. Christian has been involved with are a vending area for drinks and snacks that was added to the museum's historic area; three sets of outdoor wrought-iron bistro tables and chairs to accommodate travelers; period reproductions to furnish the 1690s English house and special displays at the Museum Store. "Her most recent gift to support the museum's phase II expansion will assure that future generations will have access to the history and the heritage that settlers built on the Shenandoah Valley frontier," said Mrs.
