As you can see from the photo of our beloved Museum above, we have recently repaired, replaced siding and painted the front of the building. This necessary repair will help ensure the ongoing mission of our museum. If you can spare a few dollars to help us pay for our upkeep, please do not hesitate to make a donation, and thank you!
