We are sorry to announce the BCHS Museum will be closed for the summer. Our air conditioning system cannot handle temperatures over 85 degrees outside. It is very inefficient and costs nearly $1,000 per month to operate during the summer months just for the museum and it still gets hot inside. We will be announcing a fundraising drive very soon to fix wooden windows in the Ehmann House and fix the Museum air conditioning. The Ehmann home is the first priority. Thank You for your understanding!
