Wanted to share with you that the Museum is progressing.
With the photo of my wife, she wanted everyone to know that the chairlift works great.
To be honest I was a little nervous to take Linda in and take a tour.
I used her as a guinea pig to see how a wheelchair and using the chairlift would work.
She said it was a great tour and everything worked good to get around. She also made comment that there has been a lot of work done, but she said you have a lot to do yet. Made me laugh, all I could say was yes Dear.
Opening date for the Museum will be not to far from now. Hopefully the Milo Fest. but don’t hold me to it.
That’s our goal.

I am sure that some are thinking that the new Museum has a lot of steps.
And you are right, but I feel we have a very good solution for that problem.
If you didn’t know there is a ramp on the north east corner that will get you up to the main floor. It is a long ramp but is a very good one. Then for you to go to the basement as you can see in the picture we have a chairlift.
Also if you can go down the few steps to the basement when you come in the south basement door you can ride the lift upstairs to the main floor.
So no worries for getting around in the new site for the Beattie Museum.
We also have a wheelchair if needed.
We are making progress but opening date in the future still.

Update on the Museum’s mysterious time capsule.
As you can see we haven’t found it yet.
Looking over the area and as you see in the picture, all we found was nails, screws, ball pean hammer head and over small metal pieces.
The process of getting shelves built, hanging things up and getting organized is taking time.
Will keep you updated on and opening date, but for now we will not be open for a while yet.

The Museum is staying busy getting displays sorted out and putting in areas where they work the best.
One thing that has been a big improvement is we have acquired a chairlift. Gives us the option to get people from the main floor to the basement if stairs are a problem for you.
As you can see it works great and is safer for everyone.
What is amazing is as you are riding up or down you can check out the different carpet on each step.
