BELPRE [Ohio]– The new Collections Preservation addition to the Farmers’ Castle Museum Education Center is expected to be complete by spring.
“We are very pleased with the progress. Remaining work is all interior, pretty much everything outside is done,” said Nancy Sams, president of the Belpre Historical Society.
Society volunteers operate the nonprofit museum at 509 Ridge St. Construction on the new 50-by-50 foot addition began in September.
The remaining work includes installation of a staircase handrail, doors and carpet and painting. An upstairs space will be used as a loft and storage area. The walk-in level will house an office, mens’ and women’s restrooms and a large open exhibit area…
There is also genealogy information in the resource center with local family histories, diaries, heritage homes, burial records and other information for those searching for ancestors.
