OUR ROAD?  oH you mean the cow path.

only 4-wheel drive vechiels dare take a chance.

December goal- CLOSE IN THE BIG BUILDING.  Done

cont.  from front page:  The next step is getting underway.  Finishing the inside of the main building.  This will be the museums head quarters. You will enter the building from the East End which houses  an office, a meeting room/display room  and a huge show room.  The Massey Collectors will also have a library.  It is going to be exciting to see all this happening. When the inside is done we will hold or meetings at the museum. 

 Yes once again we need help  (don't you get tired of hearing us beg for help)  so get out the tools and find out the schedule and show up a day or two for some body building chores, food and fellowship!  We'll let you know the dates or days of duty and get some ladies to help provide a nourishing lunch.  No - don't expect steak.

Near future goals

Building the pioneer village consisting of a long building with different store fronts.  It will contain a general store (which will contain a gift shop), Milinery Shop, Dr. / Dentist Office / Toy Shop / Saloon (soda shop) for sandwiches, drinks and entertainment.  A feed store and tool shed will be on one end.....  A one room school,  house and church will each sit seperately but close by.

Long term plan

Build a 70 X 300 ft. building to house displays of all sorts. Set up a home for a person to live in - a barn to house some farm animals and a garden for the public to share spaces and grow their own food. Build a camp ground for overnight camping.  Put up three cabins near the fort for weekend rentals.

lets start knocking some of the goals out so we can open our musuem on a full time basis.

"Lil" Red Barn Museum is closed for the season.  See you next Spring.
