Plymouth County Historical Museum launches new capital campaign

Yesterday, September 29th, the Plymouth County Historical Museum launched its new $250,000 capital campaign, “Preserving the Past, Powering the Future.“

Jennifer Scholten, the Museum Administrator, spoke about the campaign, which highlights repairs needed for the Old Central Gym.

It’s been 25 years since the Museum had any major construction projects done. Other big preservation projects in the campaign include tuck pointing of the building’s brick exterior, a new shake shingle roof for the Weber Cabin, ADA-compliant doors that improve accessibility for visitors, and replacement of HVAC and furnace units.

Scholten recognizes that $250,000 is a big ask, but a big building with a big community presence needs big funding.

The Museum has multiple ways for people to donate and get involved with the campaign.
