Earlier this year, our museum was honored by the family of Medal of Honor recipient Russell Steindem to assume the care of not only Russell's uniforms but also those uniforms and artifacts belonging to his father, a World War II B17 crewman and POW. A television segment was recorded that day by a close friend of the museum and was broadcast this week. Here is the piece Jerome Filmed.

We’re running out of room—and more people are using the museum than ever.

Over the years, many families have trusted us with their loved ones’ artifacts and stories—and new pieces keep arriving. More schools, scout groups, churches and other organizations are coming through our doors and want to use the space. This need for a hands on more contemporary space and approach to teaching history is confirmed by the number of visitors and their feedback.

It's a good problem to have—but it’s still a problem.

When larger groups visit, it gets crowded fast. We don’t have enough bathrooms, and we don’t have proper classroom space for hands-on learning. The demand is growing, but our footprint isn’t—and it’s starting to limit what we can offer.

So here’s where we’re headed, we are going to try to make and raise money to expand.

Not just a bigger space for artifacts—but more room for our community. While we do need to add more galleries to the museum as its scope widens, we also want to create something more useful, an informal space that feels lived-in and works for the people who use it.

• A community hub where veterans can gather and local groups can meet

• Real classrooms where students can interact with history, not just look at it

• Basic onsite resources that let people stay longer, such as expanded bathroom facilities and a small kitchen area. This will allow us to grow the museums outreach and provide a resource for the local community..

As our plans take shape we will update everyone.
