We continue to develop new exhibits for our museum, and enhance existing exhibits. We have budgeted $60,000 for the exhibits in the year 2025-2026
In the next year (2025-2026) we also expect to do extensive work on the historic jail building at the museum, replacing the roof, and redoing the electrical system in the historic jail building. We have not completed estimates for this work, but we expect it to exceed $100,000.
