Like many towns in Marion County, Hillsboro recently hosted a day of Christmas-themed activities, and many around town kept hearing about all of the fun things going on at the museums in town. Thanks to the hard work of Cara Duell and her new position as Hillsboro’s Community Engagement Coordinator, kids and adults alike got to have a different experience than usual at Hillsboro’s Annual Down Home Christmas earlier this month and it’s just the start of some of the events and ideas that Duell has planned. Duell was recently hired by the city to revamp the museum program and come up with new ideas. Hillsboro City Administrator Matt Stiles said that the city knew there was going to be a change at the museum with the previous director leaving and knew there was going to be an opportunity there.
