We are planning to do more programming during our "open " season from May - October. We hope to increase our membership by being more visible and are working on better storage and display of our artifacts. We are also going to be seeking additional funding from the two townships involved, since our small society of approximately 50 members has fiancial constraints.We have, through the generosity of many small and major private donations, repainted the outside of our historic building twice, the inside once and re-roofed the building, in addition to putting up a "barn" to house larger agricultural artifacts,since actually purchasing the property.
