Artifacts
Our acquisition committee is always looking for unique items, particularly
from the 1880-90's time period.
All items are received subject to review and may be accepted based on our
anticipated requirements and space restrictions. Items with a written
"local story" behind them typically are the most in demand.
Looking for any pre-1900's recipes for mortar, beer, and bread. (The
three food groups? ;-) )
Restoration Materials and Tools
For 2007 we are particularly in need of 6" hand hewn ash or
oak timbers, 7x7 8' sawn timbers, as well as masonry tools such as trowels, axes
(all types and sizes), 3 and 5 gal pails with handles, and a mortar
mixer.
Financial
In February 2002, we had started a fund drive based on a matching
grant from the West Foundation. They will matched any funds we raised during
the calendar year. Grant funding is typically used to pay for instructors,
restoration specialists, and sometimes materials. We anticipate another
major fund drive during the winter of 2007-2008, more details soon!
