Yellow Trail to receive expansion grant
By By Barb Johnson-
Along with any change comes a price tag! On Monday, March 1st, the Yellow Trail Museum board learned the museum had received a generous grant from Heritage Fund: The Community Foundation of Bartholomew County to cover most of the renovation needed in that new space. That grant will allow the museum to expose the old tin ceiling tiles, make serious improvements to the heating and cooling system, do some minor restroom remodeling, put up new LED light fixtures that will be less harsh on our artifacts, take down a few interior walls to enlarge our display area, hopefully restore the old hardwood floors there, and open up the old brick archway between our present museum building and that space.
Things should begin to move fast at the museum; however, we will have to limit visits there for a short time, so anyone wishing to visit the Yellow Trail should call first at 812-371-7969 to make sure it is safe to visit.
The museum would like to thank the Heritage Fund for their generosity in supporting this large project. Without their help we would not be able to open what we hope will be a wonderful addition to the museum.
Watch for news about the project, and if you know anyone associated with the Heritage Fund or its grant committee, please pass on a BIG "Thank You" from Hope.[[In-content Ad]]
