The Hildebran Heritage Museum suffered major damage from a pipe bursting in the cold. "The water came through these walls and went all the way down the hallway and filled up the back area. Over 220,000 gallons of water went through here before they could shut the water off," said Hildebran Heritage Museum Vice President Bill Jones. What he saw when he arrived at the museum after a pipe burst from the cold is unforgettable. "When I opened that door back there and saw the water, I threw up," Jones said. Tables with antiques were pushed to a different spot, and mannequins were floating. Museum officials are packing up the museum so floors can be torn out https://lnkd.in/gjPQ6RYU
