Main Exhibit Hall, Open House Event

Description:

Photograph of the main exhibit hall on the first floor during an "Open House" event.

The Museum held an open house from October 26 to November 5 in which staff members took visitors behind the scenes to show them the need for a new building. A slide show was also shown to let people see how badly deteriorated the building and objects had become due to a leaky roof and lack of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. Voters were to decide whether to approve a million dollar bond issue for the Museum's new building plans on November 5.
