Present: The Addition and interior plans
The WHS&M Main Street façade has been restored to its original mid-nineteenth century color and appearance. An addition that will house code and ADA (American with Disabilities Act) compliant stairways, bathrooms, a kitchenette, formal lobby, and an elevator making the museum fully accessible is nearly complete. We are embarking on a plan to integrate the three structures to create uninterrupted interior flow (please see the working design below). Reconfigured interior rooms will include a reception area, Museum shop, interactive exhibit spaces, a multi-purpose space, and a climate-controlled room for archival storage. We will upgrade the museum computers and IT systems.
Consider collaborating with us to make this our accessible and inviting entrance to the museum.
In this working design, subject to change, you can see the addition of stairways, accessible ramp and restrooms, place for an elevator and a welcoming entrance to the entire museum.
If you are as excited as we are about the potential for our newly renovated Museum, please consider a donation to our Capital Campaign. Every contribution brings these plans a bit closer to realization.
