Isn't thje museum on the National Registry of Historic Places? I recall the Trustees of Kimball's Castle sold off what they could and suppsedly squandered whatever money was left. I hope the BOS is better than that. About 15 years ago "we" cut the state budget by about 10%. There was a lot of grumbling for those with pet programs, but we all survived and only slowly did we get back to the higher spending level, along with inflation. We buy a new fire engine for $850K because the old one is worn out, but some other town selling ham and bean suppers, buys it, fixes it up and is tickled at their "new" engine. There are different ways to do things and still keep things running.
