JEFFERSON - The Crawford Long Museum in Jefferson is holding its grand reopening Saturday after being closed more than a year for renovations.

Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors and $3 for students and children older than 5.

A $50-per-peron fundraiser dinner for the museum will be held Saturday night starting at 6 at Fusion on the Square Restaurant. It includes a guided tour of the museum.

The museum has new exhibits and a revamped building after suffering from leaks and structural problems.
