The beginnings of the Bill Cramer Room as the Williamsburg Historical Society begins their move to the downstairs of the Williamsburg Public Library. Plans are underway to begin organizing and cleaning materials for display. Historical Society hopes to rent out the Bill Cramer Room for events.
For a few months, the Williamsburg Historical Society was at a standstill waiting to become a 501.c.3 organization. They were also waiting to move into their renovated space in the downstairs area of the Williamsburg Public Library.
Following Tuesday evening's meeting, it looks like things are on the upswing for the Historical Society.
Williamsburg Historical Society President Marge Troxell gave an update on items received from Dave Sollenberger's extensive collection and is waiting to hear back for another date to get more items. Following that, members decided on a date to go through items donated by others and start setting up in hopes of a spring opening.
The historical society's board also welcomed new member Jennifer Hoffman.
Troxell also shared an invite to the board from Tom Kopriva in hopes of next year being a part of the United States' 250th Anniversary Celebration. The club tabled discussion until more details were released.
The board will soon be sending out monetary donation letters to the residents of Williamsburg. The board is looking for funds for furniture, cleaning supplies, and rental purposes at the library. Anyone interested in donating to the Historical Society is encouraged to contact the Williamsburg Public Library at 814-832-3367.
