Remember that song called “If I had a Million Dollars?” Well, that would be nice, but there are also some other things that would be great to have. Please contact the Museum if you would like to donate any of these items.

A Good “Van Ordinaire”
One of the most important pieces of equipment we use here at the Museum is our Chevy pickup truck, generously given a number of years ago by Barb Feikert. It’s a great help for all kinds of jobs, but there are some things, such as artifacts and displays, that really shouldn’t go in the back of a pickup truck. Two recent cases in point were when we transported a model of Miss America X back to its owner in northern Michigan and brought Lou Natenshon’s toy boat collection back from Chicago. For these kinds of jobs, we really need a cargo van. If you’d like to know more about our requirements, please contact Curator of Watercraft, Emmett Smith by phone or by email at emmettsmith@abm.org ; 315.686.4104 x225
