Entrance to the 13,000-square-foot annex to the Martinsville-Henry County Heritage Center & Museum will be through an enclosed walkway from the Historic Henry County Courthouse, being built now. The annex will showcase Native American artifacts; antique tools, steam engines, electronics and toy trains; 500 years of firearms; and a gambling parlor. (Contributed)
Electric lines were being installed Wednesday at the annex. Construction should be completed in May, and then it will take several months to get the displays established, under the direction of experts from the Virginia Museum of Natural History.
