Fred Light Museum’s Bernadette Leslie to retire in 2025
It was 46 ago ago when Bernadette Leslie began what would become a passion at the Fred Light Museum as a summer student.
That wealth of historical knowledge, experience and dedication will soon take on a new form next year as the beloved manager will retire in October 2025.
Making the announcement during the town council meeting on Monday night, Bernadette said after nearly 50 years, she felt she took the museum as far as she can.
“Over the past 45 years, the museum has grown immensely,” she noted of the firearms collection, the popular Family Fun Day and the Strawberry Tea.
