Help Volunteer-Run Museum in CT with Unexpected Expenses
The Vintage Radio & Communications Museum in Windsor, CT offers a fascinating and educational look back through time and technology. From Morse Code to radio & television to personal computers - and everything in between - walking through our 4,000 sq. ft. display area is a walk through the history of human communications. Check us out at www.vrcmct.org.
We received unexpected news in late May 2024 that we are required to pay for the continuation of the sewer line along Pierson Lane, where the museum is located. The cost is to be split among five property owners on this stretch of road - and our portion is estimated to be $28,000, with an additional $12,000+ to connect the sewer line to the museum building itself.
As an all-volunteer run museum, we do not have those funds on-hand, nor did we expect this expense to occur so quickly. The project is expected to begin immediately - Summer of 2024. We have had our share of challenges over the last 34 years of the Museum - and we are hopeful that with your help and donations, we can once again move forward with our mission to educate and share communications history with our diverse group of visitors for many years to come.
We appreciate your continued support!
