Greetings AT Museum fans –
I am leading the effort to construct an accessible ramp to the second floor of the museum, and would like to start work in May.
The first task will be to construct the second floor deck. This will start with drilling 20 holes
Saturday May 11th in the stone wall for the support anchors for the ledger board. We will also need to remove a downspout.
If you are interested in participating, or know someone who is, please contact me.
Thanks,
Jack Adams
Please volunteer to lead a hike or two
for this year's schedule.
