The Donna Reed Heritage Museum debuted during the
19th Donna Reed Performing Arts Festival in June, 2004.
Visitors were greeted by wonderful informative displays
and interactive exhibits at the opening dedication.
In the window of the museum and foundation office, visitors
are engaged by photographic tributes to The Donna Reed Show,
It's a Wonderful Life, and From Here to Eternity
Inside the museum, visitors can learn many interesting details
about Donna Reed's life in front and behind the cameras. The
Donna Reed / Violet Lindsay interactive exhibit allows
visitors to view selected letters from their 48 year pen-pal
friendship and see an interview with Violet and Don Uker of
Denison.
Pictured above are some of the many volunteer members of Denison,
Iowa, at the opening dedication who worked countless hours with
the community and sponsors to remodel the museum space and create
a wonderful visitor experience in the new Donna Reed Heritage
Museum.
