MILDRED RAY PICKLES MEMORIAL SALTWATER TANK DEDICATION
September 27th
On Thursday, Sept. 27, the Marion Natural History Museum, formally dedicated the new 120 gallon acrylic ‘Display’ Saltwater Tank purchased with Memorial Donations made in memory of Mildred Ray Pickles. A naturalist, an artist and an independent thinker all of her life, Mildred loved the out of doors, serving as an inspiration to all. A resident of Marion for the past 27 years, she suggested that the Marion Natural History Museum be the recipient of memorial donations. We will always be grateful to her and her family for their kind thoughts. This tank will let us present displays of native salt water animals.

“Tanks” to the family of Mildred Pickles: The many donations made to the museum in Mildred’s name will be used to purchase a 150 gallon acrylic fish tank so that we may set up a new salt water aquarium exhibit which. This will also be used as an educational tool for our many children’s programs. We plan to set this up as a “marine tank” and will display indigenous fish, crabs and worms from our harbor to study and enjoy. In order to maintain the proper environment for our cold water animals, we will need to purchase a chiller and proper filtration equipment. We welcome any donations no matter how small.
