When was the Wrather West Kentucky Museum built on Murray State University's campus?

 
The Wrather West Kentucky Museum was built in 1924. The first constructions of this museum was started in the year of 1924 on the campus of Murray State University. It wasn't until September 22, 1982 that this building was dedicated as the Wrather West Kentucky Museum. When the building was first built, the building was used for classes and and pep rallies, and even housed the bookstore. Now, the Wrather West Kentucky Museum is used to house exhibits and is open to the public at no charge.

Before researching, I had to come up with a question about Murray State history. I decided to talk about the first building that was built on Murray States campus. After coming up with the question, "When was the Wrather West Kentucky Museum built on Murray State University's campus," I had to then decide how I was going to research and find the answer to my question. The first step that I did was go to Google Search. From there, I typed in the words "site:Wrather Museum built on Murray State University's campus." When typing these words into Google Search, it brought up several websites that listed information that could be answers to my question. The one website that answered my question completely and gave me reliable information was actually from the Murray State University website. The link to my research findings is: http://www.murraystate.edu/HeaderMenu/Administration/InstitutionalAdvancement/wrathermuseum.aspx. I feel that from this link, I got the right answer to my question!
