The Remnant Trust, Inc. President Kris Bex,
announced that The Remnant Trust is in the
process of re-locating to the former Billy Sunday
Museum at 1101 Park Avenue in Winona Lake.
The Remnant Trust is a public educational foundation
that shares an actively growing collection
of original and first edition works dealing with the
topics of liberty and dignity with some pieces
dating as early as 1250. The Trust makes this
collection available to colleges, universities, and
other organizations for use by students, faculty,
scholars and the general public. Those exposed
are encouraged to touch, feel and read the original
works. Generally, titles are loaned for a semester
to educational entities that choose specific
displays that are tailored to each institution.
Serving multiple institutions each semester,
The Remnant Trust normally schedules a
couple years in advance, giving schools adequate
time to plan. Kris Bes brought some
works to the meeting for Optimists to view
