The board of trustees of the North Tonawanda History Museum have established the Lumber City History Center Legacy Campaign Committee. Senator Geroge D. Maziarz has accepted the role of overall honorary chair.
Current efforts focus on continuing to make the center a quality location to experience history and a welcome center for visitors to the community. The new campaign’s goal is to raise money to erase the mortgage indebtedness on the location at 54 Webster St.
The museum board remains true to the mission it was founded on in 2003: to give North Tonawanda back to its history and provide its residents with a permanent history center. The museum offers books, publications, and other items in a gift shop area. Plus, maps and tourism information can be gleaned from their visitation center.
The history museum is deeply indebted to HSBC Bank and Regent Properties, who have both been very patient and supportive through the museum’s efforts. Donations can be made through the Buy a Brick program, where can can buy an 8’ by 8’ stone tile for $100 (individual), $250 (family) or $500 (business). Tiles will stay permanently in the interior walls. Donations can also be made through the Lumber City History Center Stewardship program; checks or cash, or a set amount can be automatically charged every month from a credit card.
It is hoped that businesses will join in the campaign for donations. Each person who sends in a written statement of their intention to assist the museum in any way will be immediately listed as a member to the Legacy Society of the North Tonawanda History Museum and will be permanently immortalized on a plaque on the walls of the Lumber City History Center as such.
