Our staff is constantly writing grants to help us with projects, exhibits and events. We rarely win anything because in these tough times most of the grant money is going to social services. We have no problem with that and knuckle under to the situation.
But every now and then we win one. This month we received notice that we would receive money to support our Digital Archive Project. We will receive $1750 to buy a new laptop and a large high resolution flat bed scanner. Both of those items showed up to day and we did our dance of joy!
Also to day we had two good sized tours - one a senior tour studying the Shakers and the other a Cub Scout tour learning about local history. We did another dance of joy!! We love it when groups visit and we can show off our fabulous museum. Have you been to see us lately? You have no excuse. We are open for FREE, I said FREE, on Saturdays through the end of April.
