Endevoring to purchase the old Town Hall as a new location for the Heritage Society office & Museum. Applied for grants and getting close to goals. Several businesses and individuals have generously contributed to this cause. Town of Bayfield has offered a lease to allow the Heritage Society to move in prior to purchase for the cost of $1.00 per year.
The Chamber of Commerce has been invited to share space within the building and the Bayfield Study Club has requested to house some of their historical items in the museum. Volunteers will be needed to assist with keeping the doors open - You can contact Jim or Marv for more information.

Plans to renovate the interior of the building back to it's original design.

Several items of interest were discussed and are available for viewing at their current location in Gem Village.
