KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The Ely Stage Stop and Country Museum is expanding.

Over the past two weekends, volunteers have met at the museum-in-progress, located at 9921 State Hwy 281 (Soda Bay Road), to begin building the new display barn.

Greg Dills, who is overseeing the work, reported that on Saturday, Aug. 18, six volunteers began construction of the 2,000-square-foot barn that will house many of the society’s artifacts.  

Anyone interested in becoming involved with the project is invited to call Dills at 707-263-4180, Extension 102, for more information.
