November 2024 Urgent Need! Three Ways We Need Your Help!
Urgent Need!
Three Ways We Need Your Help!
The boiler at the Woodman House ceased working during the first week of November 2024. On the subsequent service call the system was deemed unsafe due to age and condition of the boiler; gas and electricity to the boiler was turned off for safety reasons. We need immediate replacement to save the integrity of the house and collections as we head into the freezing weather of Winter.
We had planned to replace the boiler and upgrade the entire heating and cooling system in the house in 1-2 years from now, giving us time to raise the funding for the project. Since we must replace the boiler, we will pull the entire project forward and do that work now, rather than potentially put in a “temporary” boiler now that would work with the current heating system but not with the new system. To support the HVAC system, we’ll also need to basically rewire the entire building.
We are asking for your help, in one (or more) of three ways:
Bring Heating & Cooling to the Woodman House again!
With the need now urgent, we are appealing to you, our fans, patrons, local businesses, and philanthropists, to help us fund this project. If you love the Woodman Museum like we do, we hope you’ll partner with us on this project. Every donation, large or small, counts and helps us toward our goal.
To donate specifically to this Winter’s HVAC/rewiring project in the Woodman building, donate here:
Help us “keep the lights on.”
With the need to close the museum early this year, the staff shift to supporting the renovation as a priority, and the unfortunately necessary cancellation of some planned events, we won’t have the usual sources of income we normally have this time of year.
Yet, we’ll still have the normal everyday expenses throughout all of our buildings like electricity, insurance, heating, and the like. In addition to supporting the renovation efforts our staff will also need to work on their usual Winter “Get ready for Spring” gallery and facility updates and necessary work on preservation.
To donate unrestricted funds that can be used to help with everyday costs, donate here:
Spread the Word:
The third way you can help is to spread the word. Whether you are able to donate or not, you can help us by spreading the word. Many hands make light work, and by sharing you help us reach people we may not otherwise.
We greatly appreciate all of your support and donations. You all made this a fantastic 2024 season! If you would like to follow along on this renovation process make sure to check back on social media and our webpage for updates. Once again, from all of us here at The Woodman Museum, we appreciate your continued support.
