(KNZA)--The Brown County Historical Society has hired a new executive director/curator.
Lynn Marie Allen, of Horton, will begin work Thursday.

The organization says Allen has extensive experience in working with training staff, administrating federal, state and local grant programs along with coordinating services among various agencies.

Allen will replace Elizabeth Lane who resigned in February to become the new director of the Hiawatha Chamber and Visitor’s Bureau after serving as director of the Historical Society since May of last year.
