The Allegany Museum’s doors would close.
Sounds dramatic? Yes, it is. And, it is true!
The George Washington Whiskey Rebellion Fest, this year brought to you by the Community Trust Foundation, is the major money-raiser for the Museum.
The State and Federal governments are generous in funding our capital projects, like the new Crossroads of America exhibition which will open in the fall.
But our operations and programming are privately funded that is, the Museum must raise all the money to pay for electricity, elevator maintenance (no small thing!), cleaning, heating, programs, taxes, etc. etc. and so on.
Please support the Museum through becoming a sponsor of the George Washington Whiskey Rebellion Fest, this year scheduled for the evening of June 7. Contact Joe Caporale, (301) 759-1005, joe.caporale@alleganyradio.com
Or simply donate directly to the Museum. Contact Daryl Smith, manager@alleganymuseum.org, (301) 707-4856 or visit www.alleganymuseum.org/Get Involved/
