The Museum

We've lost our lease!

We received notice the last week of June 2008 that we had to be out of the Town Center Mall as soon as possible. Since 2001 the Museum has enjoyed practically free space in the Mall, and for that we are forever grateful to the Mall's previous owners and management.

So, until we find a new home, the Museum's public display facility is closed. If you have any ideas, please contact us!
