Well deserved Volunteer of the Year awarded to Bill Rawlings for many hours, days, weeks, months and years working to make a dream come true with the new AVRM building!
Sorry this is a bit fuzzy. Maybe someone has a better photo? Congratulations to the AVRM for winning Committee of the Year at the 2022 AV Fair Kick Off Dinner, and to Bill Rawlings for Volunteer of the Year! Great job everyone!

Always love to see photos of the old Antelope Valley Cowboys. I can't imagine them (and the pioneer women) in this heat we are experiencing the last few weeks! 102 degrees today and up to 105 next week!
Thanks to Jim Mumaw and his daughter Katrina for donating the Mumaw Funeral Home sign to the AVRM. It will hold a special place of honor at the Museum. Thank you to Jeff Godde and son, and Bob Alvis for cutting down the sign and bringing it to the AVRM.![]()
We also purchased a few items from the Funeral Home to display at the Museum. Look for an article on the Mumaw family in the upcoming AVRM Newsletter.![]()

Yay - the lights are on in the new building! Shadowbox windows are installed; kitchen area in the library/meeting room is being worked on; restrooms are in, A/C is being worked on and we're packing up the "old" building in preparation for the highly anticipated move to our larger building. Can't wait to start moving in!

Thanks to all who supported the AVRM annual Flapjack Fundraiser at Applebee's in Lancaster. Everyone enjoyed the company and the tasty breakfast. Our volunteer servers did a great job and even Assemblyman Tom Lackey donned an apron and helped serve and greet our supporters! Thank you to Applebee's restaurant for their continued support. They did a great job with the breakfast.
