Proposed
Shop and Workspace
Expansion - 2007 (?)
With the addition of the Pearce Collection to
the holdings already in place here, we are
presented with an opportunity to build com-
munity and provide educational resources for
a wide range of people.
 
If resources become available, we hope to
build a connecting multi purpose structure
that will allow us to hold metalworking semi-
nars for up to 12 people at one time. At other
times, the same space could be used for resto-
ration of antique engines or tractors.
 
The grist mills will finally have a place to be
seen as a group and restored.
 
Relocating the equipment from the existing
west forge area will make it suitable for use
as a small scale foundry if there is interest to
warrant it.
 
The existing machine shop, metal shop,
relocated mill house and corn crib will con-
tinue to serve their respective functions, but
in an arrangement more convenient to the
group work spaces.
 
We welcome your input and suggestions
about this space. We need both donations
and manpower to realize this goal in the near
rather than the more distant, future.
