Officials have confirmed there has been a change of leadership for the Geary County Historical Museum. Executive Director Sara Moppin stepped down for personal reasons on Wednesday.

Her resignation came one day after a Historical Society Board meeting on Tuesday.

Board member Mike Heronemus has been named the Interim Director.

“After a Board meeting I volunteered to fill in while a search is made for a new director. I don’t have any experience here, but I figured I can handle office work. And that’ ll keep the other two employees  busy doing museum things which we need to keep going on without any break. We’ve don’t want that to fall off. We’ve made a lot of progress in that area, and want that to keep going.”

Moppin had served as the Director of the Historical Society and Museum for approximately two years.
