The Friends of the Lexington County Museum honored their long-time treasurer Huey Long for 22 years of service this month.

Friends president Dan Koon gave a speech thanking Long and presented him with a gift card.

Long was a charter member of the Friends of the Lexington County Museum and was its first treasurer.

Long recently retired from his position with BB&T and decided it was also time to hand the Friends’ checkbook over to someone else.

The Friends of the Lexington County Museum would like to thank Mr. Long for his years of hard work.

Long has a deep love of local history and said he will still be involved with the Friends.

The Friends of the Lexington County Museum is a non-profit group founded in 1997 with an advisory board, officers, and a board of trustees representing all municipalities in Lexington County.

Its mission is to enhance the Lexington County Museum through its duly appointed commission and to support, aid, and assist in the improvement and expansion of the Museum.

The Friends group sponsors fund-raising projects to help further the Museum’s valuable contribution to the county, raising over $280,000 for the museum since its inception.
