***Museum Garden Fund-Raiser***
We have an exciting new beautification project underway, and we are in need of the community's help to reach our fundraising goal.
We have already completed phase 1 of our Woodland Garden Renovation; please join with us for the rest of this exciting journey.
​******************************** 
Our fund-raiser is now underway for our Museum Woodland Garden.
We’re reclaiming the lot of overgrown land next to the museum building and turning it into a wonderland rock-ledge garden, complete with walkway up from the Old Fire Station and restful seating areas.
​We are working with Landscape Architect Ellen Mitchell of
​E. F. Mitchell Design out of Kittery Maine. 
Our goal is to raise $75,000. We’ve already raised $15,000 and with your help we know we can reach our goal.
