Changes and Renovations in the Northeast Woodlands Gallery

We have been taking advantage of the fact that it is winter and the Museum is closed to the public to do some repainting and to rearrange some exhibits.

Volunteers Linda Hartman and Chris Bullock, along with Trustee Lynn Clark, are working on organizing our extensive collection of baskets to make sure they can be exhibited in a manner that is as culturally and historically correct.  Our apologies if the name of anyone who has also been working on this project was omitted.





This picture shows some baskets waiting for their new cases to be assembled and painted.







Linda Hartman's sheetrock repair skills have been invaluable in this project.
The project will be completed and the exhibits will be ready for the public when the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum reopens on May 1, 2011.
