Wilson Brewer Historic Park is looking for donations to aid ongoing
improvements being made to the museum buildings, displays and grounds
surrounding its six historic buildings in Webster City.
To that end, the museum board and volunteers have put together a wish
list. Included in that list are white cotton sheets, audio/visual
equipment, lint roller and refills, good magnifying glass, clothing
brushes, and tools, including a small drill with bits, wire cutters,
regular and needle-nose pliers, assorted screwdrivers, and a large
level.
Other items wanted include alligator clips, wooden hangers, assorted
peg board hooks, Scotch tape, double-sided Scotch tape, plate holders,
small easels, display stands, picture hanging supplies, wall hooks,
W-D 40, metal cleaner, gun oil, leather cleaner and oil, small brass
safety pins, and a vacuum cleaner in good condition.
The museum staff is also in need of a supply of large-size acid-free
tissue paper, various padded display frames, large shadow box display
frames, storage tubs with lids, under-bed plastic tubs with lids,
laminating paper, T-pins, 2-inch-long “silk” pins, and a supply of
foam board and poster board.
The museum is also always in need of cash donations.
If you would like to donate to the Wilson Brewer Historic Park museum
effort, contact Kent Harfst at (515) 832-9193.
