The Gladewater Museum

A Letter from the Director of the Museum:
 

Dear Friends of the Museum:

 

The Gladewater Museum Board and volunteers would like to say "Thank You" for your faithful support and tel you what has happened and what will happen in the months ahead.

 

The museum has seen an increase in visitors this summer. Third and fourth grade classes toured the museum and each child received an original coloring book about the history of Gladewater. The local community visits to identify pictures. Children from the library toured for "Museum Mania". The Cherokee Trace Chapter DAR meets four times a year in the research room. We receive articles, family stories and artifacts every week.

 

As we grow, our expenses have also grown. Since we are now totally responsible for the building, insurance is a large expense. Our utilities are always higher during the summer. We provide coloring books to approximately 150 third graders each year; therefore we have copy expenses. Of course, there are phone and internet expenses. Our dream is to paint and refinish the floors upstairs to allow more exhibits, but first, heat and air conditioning must be installed.

 

You see our needs and our wants. Please consider renewing your membership ($15 for individual or $25 for a family) or make a donation of any amount. All donations are tax deductible and will be appreciated. You can do this by mailing a check to The Gladewater Museum, PO Box 85, Gladewater, Texas 75647 or by visiting our web site ( gladewatermuseum.org) and donating via PayPal.

 

Plan to visit the museum. We change exhibits often; therefore you will find something new and interesting. Follow us on facebook and here on our website and watch the activities in downtown Gladewater on our live web cam.

 

Sincere thanks,

 

Elaine Roddy
