What will be lost when our newspapers die?
Take a tour of the West County Museum’s exhibit which took a look at the history of the Sebastopol newspaper who told the story of our town from 1889. The exhibit highlighted headlines, artifacts, photos and articles, ads, and editorials to present the subject.
