Depot Museum Needs Help!
A leak was found in our oil
boiler at the Depot Museum; we had a gas
connection installed to the building, and a new forced air system that utilizes the current ductwork air handler
was added.
It meant money that is difficult to replace unless the
community steps up to help out. Fund raising projects proved less than
satisfactory, so we're looking for your help. As all homeowners know, things
like this happen, and we did do something about reducing our heating costs in
the process.
Please send donations to:
