The Cuero Heritage Museum held a ribbon- cutting ceremony on May 21 to celebrate the opening of the new Genealogy Room and a permanent exhibit featuring The Patti Giles Collection of English Tea Pots and Biscuit Jars. This collection was donated by Mr. Giles in honor of his wife, Patti.
Inspired by the beautiful Giles teapot collection, Amber Fitts, the museum manager, decided to create a genealogy room.
'Our gift shop wasn’t doing well, so I considered using this area to attract more customers. I realized that adding these stunning teapots would appeal to those interested in genealogy and encourage them to explore the collection. Thus, the Genealogy Room was established,' Fitts explained.
