Covered Area Under Construction
The area behind the Depot, shown in the photo to the left, is currently under construction. Our handicapped ramp was in need of replacing, and we have been wanting to cover the cement slab for several years, to create a protected space for some of our larger items. The roof is complete, and a large "barn" door is being created, allowing us to move large items in and out. The handicapped ramp is under construction, so currently, our back lot exhibits are not available for close-up viewing. We hope to have this project completed sometime this summer.
We were finally able to have 2 "splits" installed in our large display space (the old freight room) at the Depot. We have one on the north wall and one on the west wall. These were installed early in the summer of 2024 and keep the Depot cool in the summer. Throughout the winter, we stayed warm during meetings and while working on the new display. We have noticed greatly reduced electric bills! Between donations, fund raising efforts and use of some of our savings, this project was completed, along with a necessary electrical upgrade.
