Board of Directors
Peggie Bidwell
Tim was the postmaster in one of the valley’s small communities. His congeniality and excellent customer service skills make him a natural public relations representative for the museum. In executing his professional duties, Tim investigates and solves problems; providing valuable skills to the board as it develops plans, identifies solutions and executes its goals.
Mt. Eddy, a local mountain, is named for Tim’s wife’s family. This family-topographical bond enforces the couple’s dedication to keeping history alive for visitors and local residents. Tim enjoys helping people learn about their forefathers’ work and sacrifices that contributed to the area’s current level of prosperity.

She appreciates the local people who generously donate their family treasurers for everyone to enjoy.
Arleen and her children and grandchildren raise a few cows on the ranch. She likes calving season and branding, but she is not a fan of cracking ice in water troughs in the winter. Arleen likes to read, garden, substitute teach, and sew. She loves family and school reunions, picnics, and sightseeing adventures.
