📚 Monday Memories 📚

Did you spend your childhood solving mysteries alongside Frank and Joe Hardy?

This week's Monday Memory features a small collection of Hardy Boys books by Franklin W. Dixon from the 1960s. For so many of us, these well-loved books sparked a lifelong love of reading and adventure. Whether you checked them out from the library, traded them with friends, or proudly lined them up on your bedroom bookshelf, they're filled with memories that never seem to fade.

We're always looking to preserve these pieces of childhood for future generations to enjoy. If you have Hardy Boys books—or other classic children's books tucked away in a box, attic, or bookshelf—and would consider donating them to the museum, we'd love to hear from you. Your treasured books could help bring back wonderful memories for countless visitors.
