VALPARAISO — “Rural Electrification,” a traveling exhibit celebrating the Choctawhatchee Electric Cooperative's 75th anniversary, is open through Jan. 22 at the Heritage Museum of Northwest Florida.
The exhibit — which includes artifacts such as household items used in the days before and after electrification — originally was scheduled to end Jan. 15.
The museum is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday at 115 Westview Ave., Valparaiso. Admission costs $5 for adults, $4 for seniors and military, and $3 for children. Museum members and children under 4 get in free.
In August 2015, Choctawhatchee Electric Cooperative marked 75 years of providing electricity to rural Okaloosa and Walton, as well as portions of Holmes and Santa Rosa counties.
