The Saxonburg Museum reopened Wednesday, July 19, after the discovery of potential asbestos contamination forced it to close for several days to undergo testing.

At the monthly borough council meeting Tuesday, museum curator Fred Caesar assured both the members of the borough council and the general public that the museum was safe to visit.

“The goal has been that there should be no public health concern in the future,” Caesar said. “First and foremost, we have been and are solely focused on ensuring public safety.”
