Video Tour by Walt Diedrick

Walt Diedrick was a founding member of the Sterling North Society and spent MANY hours over a period of three years to renovate the home to its 1918 setting.  Walt was described as not only a board member, but a renovation foreman, custodian and troubleshooter, and most importantly, an educator.  When the museum opened in 1997, Walt led countless tours for area school children from 1997 until 2015.  On occasion, he was so knowledgeable that students asked him if he actually was Sterling North!  This video was made in April, 2014.  Walt passed away on September 24, 2021. A bench honoring Walt is located outside the barn.
