THANK YOU TO THE NH STATE COUNCIL ON THE ARTS MOOSE PLATE GRANT FOR THE CONSERVATION OF PUBLICLY OWNED ARTIFACTS, WE WERE ABLE TO CONSERVE THREE BEAUTIFUL HISTORIC PAINTED STAGE CURTAINS OWNED BY THE TOWN OF LYMAN AND RESCUED FROM THE LYMAN GRANGE HALL. CURTAINS WITHOUT BORDERS, A VERMONT NONPROFIT DID THE CONSERVATION WORK. THE CURTAINS HANG IN OUR MUSEUM, AND WE ARE HONORED TO DISPLAY THEM.
