The collection contains papers, books and other materials from such well-known historical figures as Thomas Jefferson, Confucius and Aristotle. Some of them date back more than 500 years.
A full open house is scheduled for The Remnant Trust for Dec. 28 from 2 to 6 p.m., and Dec. 29 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Remnant Trust is at 1101 Park Ave., Winona Lake.
The open house will give families the opportunity to view the Trust during the holiday season.
The Trust incorporated officially in 1997, though it was an idea for seven to eight years before that.
The Remnant Trust now boasts more than 1,100 documents.
The Remnant Trust is not a traditional museum. Most, but not all, of the items in the collection can be read and handled by the public.
According to a previous press release from OrthoWorx, through a $170,900 grant from OrthoWorx, a $50,000 grant from the Kosciusko County Community Foundation, and the donated use, maintenance and utilities of the former Billy Sunday Museum by Grace College, The Remnant Trust moved its headquarters from Jeffersonville to Winona Lake this year.
Funding from OrthoWorx and the Community Foundation was used to retrofit the museum with precise temperature and humidity controls, as well to enhance building security
A Community Advisory Committee was created by OrthoWorx to work with The Remnant Trust to consider future public and educational programming.
