The allowed tax rate is .01 per hundred dollars of assessed valuation within the district. Tax money levied for 1999 is received in 2000. Work to the house included complete heating and air conditioning systems, plumbing and electrical wiring as well as interior painting. Volunteers did a portion of the work and the first year's tax levy paid for completion of the project. The museum hires a part-time curator and uses volunteers to assist in its work.
Volunteers are always welcome.
Donations of artifacts, which tell the county's history are always welcome, providing space allows. It is the dream of the museum board to build an archive to house the collection and provide additional exhibit space. At this time all monies from memberships in the organization go to a fund dedicated to that purpose.
