The current Museum exhibit is Living Treasures of Edgewater: Celebrating Diversity and Building Community.
The Edgewater Living Treasures exhibit honors those people who have
made a difference – some in a profound, fundamental way, and others in
a small but significant action that has affected the well being of
the Edgewater community. Their deeds were not driven by personal gain,
but to help the people of the community in some way – whether
generating beauty, fostering harmony, helping the less fortunate or
encouraging grass roots activity. These Living Treasures have helped
create public spaces and organizations and they have imparted values
which both celebrate diversity and build community. 
The Edgewater Historical Society is joining in the 100 year anniversary of Senn High School by showcasing some of Senn’s most famous graduates in a new exhibit at the Museum.
