Our next project:

The Museum board received a donation to purchase land on the north side of our current buildings.   Now we have the land cleared of brush and trees for another building.   We are in the process of collecting old horse drawn machinery from individuals in the area,  this land will house a building for this horse drawn machinery.

We are of the belief that our younger generation doesn't really know what our grandfathers used to till this land with, that we now occupy.   We have been out getting quotes on a 70 x 172 building.   The numbers are coming in around $150,000.   We will not break ground until we have the money in the bank.

So that is why it is crucial that we start raising money now.   The Sargent County Museum is run on your donations, and a little from the county mill levy each year.   We appreciate all the organizations that have donated in the past to keep these nice buildings that we have in good shape to date. 

Even with all the buildings we presently have, there is a need for more room to house the next segment of history in the county.   So we hope that you can consider our organization when your deciding on your giving prospects in the future.

 The County Newspapers that we have date back to the early 1900's.

Most of these are on Microfilm, and a Reader-Printer is available for you to do your research on.  Please call or e-mail, and we can help you with your search for a fee.
