Moran Iron Works:
Large Scale Talent
We here at the Besser Museum are honored to include the Bald Eagle and the Unknown Soldier to the Museum family.
Local resident Tom Moran started his own welding shop in his father's residential garage in 1978. Since then Moran Iron Works has grown to be an international corporation, shipping products all over the world. His Iron One program trains high school/college students for a career in welding, iron design and fabrication, and CAD design.

Women: Past, Present, and Future
The museum presents, from its collections, a tribute to women through the impressions they have left in local arts, sciences, and history. Check out our women's garment collection, which illustrates different fashions that were worn by past local women. This exhibit features a visual theme of artworks created by local women. Then there is also a focus on how women shaped our communities history in addition to playing a crucial role in the sciences.
