Empire museum future after Taghon

After the passing of Empire historian Dave Taghon, the Empire Area Museum Complex enters a new chapter of its own history.

New museum President Lee Payment knows nobody can replace the knowledge Taghon displayed throughout his life.

“We came back to Empire 25 years ago, and ever since (Taghon and I) hooked up again, we were best buddies. It was such a shock when he passed,” Payment said.
