The angels were collected by Erma Depe Griggs Hamill over a period of several years. Erma donated most of the collection to Prairie Museum of Art and History in 2004. However, she continued to collect and donated the last of them in 2011. The entire collection consists of over 300 pieces.
The angels serve various functions such as candle sticks, music boxes, clocks, soap dishes, vases, picture frames, table top fountains, and trinket boxes. A few of them are lighted and all of them are different and special in their own way.

Come in to see this great collection during December. Don't forget to bring your Christmas shopping list. Kelsi has the gift shop filled with great gifts and stocking stuffers for everyone on your list.
You never get too many angels. Stop downtown at Pioneer Memorial Library. Some of Erma's angels are on temporary loan for their lobby exhibit during the holiday season.
