If you’ve been curious about the History Museum of Hood River County and its big renovation, this Friday offers a chance to look inside before the official grand reopening on Nov. 23.

The free event will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. with board members on hand to answer questions. A book signing with Macy Guppy at 2 p.m. will feature Guppy’s book on her longtime local journalist/writer mother, Ruth Guppy, “Visits with Mrs. Picket.”
