Looking Beyond the Closet:
Storage Options and Implementation on a Budget
This six-hour workshop will focus on the storage of historic objects and textiles.

Morning snacks will be available. Bring your own bagged lunch to enjoy at half time!
The workshop will be held in the visitors center, the building with the blue roof just north of the museum.
