The Lee Family Arch welcomes
our visitors with a fascinating archway of sea shells, gems, beads, crystals, stones, pearls, marbles, Mom
and Dad's watches, stick pins, earrings, Lee Company lapel pins, tie tacks, and even a minnow. These are actual family momentos and other items that represent the rest of the generous,
creative, and supportive family members and friends of Museum Founder
and Curator, Marietta Lee; such as her parents, Leighton and Marietta Lee; her five brothers; Aunt Bev; Cousin
Newy; Grandmother and Grandfather Fagan. This arch
was created to honor them and all of the ongoing hard work of the Lee and Fagan Families that made this Museum
possible.
