We are a small city with a small historical museum. We are in the process of doing renovation work. We are hoping museum enthusiasts and folks who appreciate history will help support the renovation project we are presently doing. We have a GoFundMe fundraiser to help ofrset the expenses of our renovations.

Wow. We start painting today. Here’s a glance of all the walls which have been repaired and smoothed out. All the furniture is gathered and covered so we can begin the painting process. The new exhibits have been put together awaiting our finishing the paint job and arranging furniture. We are so excited to have the community see the renovation work. Keep posted for our opening date.

In the meantime, we can still use some donated money for the purchase of the materials that we have already purchased and will be purchasing. See our go fund me account and please consider us. See the link above.

The purpose of a museum is to serve as an educational tool for the community, and to build community pride. We guarantee you you will find information you never knew about Munroe Falls. We are hoping to gain your support as we would like to continue our renovation work on the second floor of the museum, which is dependent on affordability.
