Helm in 1963)
In the last 13 years,
with your generosity through donations, visitations to the
Museum, and buying gifts from our gift shop, we have been
able to make many new improvements to this majestic building.
The windows in the auditorium have been replaced
with new windows that really make a huge improvement to the
looks of the building inside and out. They have been painted
a brown color that makes them stand out from the other windows
which we hope to replace after the completion of the auditorium.
Our next projects will be the walls. The
wall behind the stage on the south has been repaired and painted.
It looks so nice and makes the stage look so different. The
heightening of the railing and painting around the balcony
is completed. If we have an overflow in the auditorium or
if people would like to sit on the balcony, we are thinking
about letting people sit up there for $12.00; audiorium seating
will be $10.00. We have the estimates to repair the north
wall and the east wall. Work on these two walls should begin
in the next couple of weeks. We will have to replenish our
money after this project is completed to finish the West wall.
When this is done, we will like the floor on stage and auditorium
and maybe some new curtains.
Your donations and generosity the last years
have helped us to renovate and renew the building toward its
magnificant grandeur of the past.
If you haven't visited the museum lately to see the many projects
going on, please take time to do so. There are small and large
projects as well. We are painting, reorganizing rooms, and
working on the flower beds to help beautify every aspect of
the majestic building.
Our upcoming events will help to advance
the restoration of the museum building and the auditorium.
Again we ask for your participation in this effort. If you
would like to make a contribution toward these projects, it
would be greatly appreciated. Please favorably consider our
request and make a donation to the Wise County Heritage Museum
today!!
