LEGACY OF THE PLAINS
Construction in full swing
Red iron is being set in place for our new exhibit/storage building, and a pad is under construction for our 6,000 square foot "wing" on the south side of the main exhibit hall. We are reviewing our second set of documents from Exhibit Design Associates who have come up with some exciting preliminary ideas and suggestions for our new museum. Stay tuned!!
