MUSEUM MEMO!

This week, we can finally report that work has begun in earnest on the new Nobles County History Center in the former Worthington Armory building. You can expect to get more regular updates on the process as it will be in constant flux.

Crews removed the sheetrock and insulation from the north wall of the building, exposing the Palladian windows, and they also put sheets of particle board down on the drill hall floor to protect it from the heavy scissor lifts that will be used to work on the ceiling. In the basement, temporary support walls have gone up to support the floor above, as those lifts are very heavy.

They also started sucking the insulation out of the attic above the drill hall. This process will take a few days.

The fundraising is still in its initial stages, with the public campaign slated to kickoff sometime in April.

Stay tuned for more information, and thanks in advance for your interest and support! ... See more
