The fire is out, but it continues to spark emotions for Museum Director Betty Kirkner.
She, along with town members, walked through the building Wednesday morning.
They found memorabilia from the class of 1955 and a bible that belonged to Betty's father.
Several items from the museum survived the fire including dozens of military uniforms.
Volunteers used paper towels to absorb the moisture and remove debris from the clothing, which was advice from State Conservator Caitlin O'Grady. "we really had to worry about how to dry those out quickly and avoid mold because it's not only a human health risk, but it can cause a lot of damage to those materials themselves."
More than one hundred historic pictures were saved including Pulaski's first Christmas parade, baseball teams, a town photo from 1882 and a photo of the town's first santa.
They're a little damaged and wet, but salvageable.
The pictures will take a few days to dry.
Everything that survived the fire is spread out in four different locations.
The state conservator recommends moving everything to one place so town leaders can catalog what they have and know exactly what was lost.

A curator from the Department of Historic Resources is coming to Pulaski Wednesday to look at some of the items saved from the fire at the town's historic train station.
The curator will help the town decide what can be saved.
Workers from museums in Blacksburg and Radford also plan to help.
On Monday and Tuesday, workers boxed up most of the items that were not destroyed in the fire.
Some of those items are being aired out on table at the Pulaski Armory.
