Needs for the move back

We will be moving back into the original museum this month after five and a half years at the Square Museum.

Our needs are many. In good condition we need: old tools, clothes, shoes, costumes, jewelry, Christmas decorations, documents, antique furniture, men’s clothing, documents such as wills, deeds, marriage licenses, etc. We need your old costume jewelry to sell in the museum shop. We need your vintage clothing. Everything has to be in good condition as we don’t have time for repair, and in some cases, we don’t have the expertise.

Do you happen to have a “zoot” suit or a Nehru jacket?

We urgently need your grandpa’s and grandma’s old spinning tops, yo-yo’s, teddy bears, and dolls. We could use old tools. I never thought tools were pretty until I got them on the walls and realized each tool is used for a different function and now they are beautiful to me.

If you have old, local photographs, please think of us as we need them. Quilts need to be shown off as works of art and we need a big spinning wheel.

We need lots of things and the main thing we need is money. Let us be your tax deduction, like you do your church, or let us be your tax-deductible charity.

Moving is expensive. We need money for a new stair carpet, picture frames, window shades for 38 windows, and supplies for setting up the new building and there are some workers who need to be paid.

Our needs are great at the museum but the main ingredient in creating and maintaining a museum is friends. Without friends to support us, we can’t function. Membership to the museum is $25 a person, or $30 for a couple.

We need friends. We’ll be moving soon.

If you are willing to help us out, please contact us at 662 252-3669 or come to see us at 111 Van Dorn Avenue, Holly Springs, 38635.
