Mission

Historic Museum and programs

990-EZ for the year ended June 30, 2025

Program accomplishments

  • We operate a small one room schoolhouse museum for history and genealogy research. We do programs in the town schools and the children come to our museum. We provide this service for at least 120 students each year. The museum is open free of charge every Monday and Wednesday and we had many people use our research material.
    Expenses $3,512
  • We also have six programs each year that are free to the public. Our average attendance is 40 people; including members and non-members. We send out press releases to help advertise these events and draw in more people.
    Expenses $350
  • We own an old farm site with a mill pond and hiking trails. The trails are available for free public use. We do not have a way of monitoring the usage that the trails get. We have no expenses that are directly attributable to maintenance of this land or trails at this time.
