UK Donation
A wonderful donation has recently been recieved at the MWB RMR Memorial Library and Museum. The collection is called, The Sidney Herbert Burchell Collection. This person was a Freemason in UK and moved to California in the 1940’s where he passed away and is buried. He was an 19th and 20th century author. Most notably would be his Masonic Items that he collected while he lived in UK. To many to share in this format but if you ever travel to the museum ask to see the collection. 2023-000-422
