The Windham Textile and History Museum is halfway to its Paint The Museum fund-raising goal. The money raised so far is $13,480.42, with about $1,500 more in outstanding pledges. Their main building at 411 Main St - will be showing some new colors starting this summer. Museum members and supporters have worked on a Backyard Block Party featuring Willimantic's Main Street glory days of the 60's, the Holiday Gift Wrap at the East Brook Mall, and the Snow Ball in the Bellingham Ballroom. In addition, Main St Café has chosen the Museum as its monthly Fill-anthropic fundraiser. And there will be available in May a print of the latest Andy Wyeth painting, "Floodgate at Old No 3 on the Willi-mantic River". The Museum much appreciates all its support from residents and businesses.
If you wish to contribute to the Paint The Museum fund, the museum accept donations in any amount mailed to WTHM, 411 Main St. Willimantic, Ct. 06226. Call 860-456-2178 for more information.
