Struggling museum will begin holding summer tours

When the historic Poplar Hill on His Lordship's Kindness museum in Clinton closed its doors Sept. 30 due to a funding shortage, museum director and longtime historian Bianca Floyd found herself out of a job.

Eight months later, Floyd is still looking for work, but has volunteered to reopen the museum for tours several Sundays a month through the summer to make sure the 18th-century property and its history remain in the public eye.

"I don't mind [volunteering]. ... I loved my job," Floyd said.
