The Bickleton Pioneer Carousel Museum is celebrating Armed Services Day on Saturday with music and displays.

The museum has received a collection of World War II memorabilia from Darrell Seely, a retired principal of Connell High School and an alumnus of Bickleton schools.

Seely, now an Oregon resident, will be on hand from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to visit with patrons and answer questions about the exhibit.

Also on display will be pictures of Eastern Klickitat County veterans dating from the Spanish American War to the present.

Any Eastern Klickitat County veteran who brings in his or her military picture, or whose picture is already up on the museum's "Those Who Served" wall, will have free admission Saturday to the museum.

The museum houses 103-year-old Herschel Spellman carousel horses and carriages, as well as other historical and genealogy elements of Bickleton.

Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is $4 for adults and $1 for children.

For more information, call the museum at 896-2007.
