The Age of Steam Roundhouse Museum has honored two men by naming them to receive the Volunteer of the Year Award and Master Mechanic’s Award.
Akron Railroad Club member Mike Costill of Canal Fulton won the mechanic’s award while the volunteer award went to Matt Arnold of Bolivar.
Costill is a regular member of the back-shop team and was a longtime friend of museum the late Jerry J. Jacobson.
A news release issued by the museum said Costill is often at the roundhouse for regular hours and has helped with numerous projects.
Arnold was recognized for his work as a videographer and digital media volunteer.
He contributed to several short social media videos and other virtual media during the spring and summer when the COVID-19 pandemic shifted the museum’s focus away from on-site programming and events.
