Caldwell Heritage Museum wish list

The Museum maintains a wish list of items needed for the Museum's operations. The list (below) is not exhaustive, and the items are not necessarily listed in order of importance.  The items can be new or gently used.

Some of the projects (i.e. landscaping, interior painting) can be done in segments.    

      Safe (for particularly valuable display items, and for Museum documents)

      Blinds/drapes for some windows (to protect exhibits)

     Security cameras (including installation)

      Doors need updating

a.       Main entrance (do not open easily or close properly)

b.      Doors for both ends of back hallway (emergency exits)

c.       Doors at upstairs fire escape (emergency exit)

     Revamped lobby (to be more welcoming and effective for visitors)

     Landscaping around Museum building and in the wooded area

     Refinish fire escape (for security)

     More interior painting (appearance and maintenance) (Five rooms were done in 2010, including  four display rooms and the library)

     Revamp upstairs restroom (the downstairs restrooms were renovated in 2009)

     One more computer (to replace one going on ten years old) (one donated in 2010)

      Reams of white or pastel paper (8 ½ x 11, 20 lb. or 24 lb.)  (for Museum business)

      Desk  for reception area (ergonomic chair donated 2010)

     Ceiling fans and lighting for upstairs connecting hall (including installation)

     Elevator  (for handicapped access to upper floor exhibits, and for shifting exhibits around)
