1. Ceredo Museum Marker
This building was erected in 1995 to house and preserve the History of Ceredo and the surrounding area, and is an excellent example of the style and architecture in use the latter part of the twentieth century.
We wish to recognize and show appreciation to Rex Christian and Gene Conner for their hard work and dedication to this project, without whose vision and leadership this building would not have been possible.
Erected by The Town of Ceredo.
