An engineering assessment was completed during the fall to help us prioritize needed building repairs. The assessment identified several parts of the building that are showing duress. We are in the process of collecting bids for repair work, which will help us firm up our fundraising goals. Our strategic plan to repair and revitalize the Museum will soon be available for viewing in the Museum and on our website.
As noted in the first issue of the Historian in June 2021, the museum building itself has a rich and important history that deserves to be preserved. There is much to be done, and many hands make light work. We need your support.
