The Dufferin Historical Museum is preparing for future growth with the help of the Town of Carman crew, who have been assisting with groundwork for a new 12’x36’ storage shed at the museum site.
Volunteers and supporters of the Dufferin Historical Museum are preparing for future expansion as groundwork begins for a new storage shed that will help create additional space for artifacts and future displays at the museum
Museum officials say the additional storage space will help volunteers better organize the growing collection and create new displays by allowing some artifacts to be stored off site.
“The Town crew have been great and very helpful in preparing the ground for a future storage shed at the museum,” representative Dennis Young shared. “The shed will enable the museum volunteers to spread out current items and design new displays by storing artifacts off site.”
Due to limited storage capacity, the museum is currently not accepting vintage item donations until later this year. Officials noted that existing storage areas are already at capacity as volunteers work to reorganize exhibits and collections.
In another recent change, the Dufferin Historical Museum has expanded its operating schedule and is now open seven days a week after the museum board approved Monday openings.
Supporters and visitors are encouraged to check the museum’s website for hours and information or to book a tour.
