Snow is rapidly melting but the CMMM grounds remain – mostly – a squishy, muddy mess. As soon as we have access, the first order of business will be the Annual Walk-thru by the Board. This is when we take stock of what needs to be done prior to Museum Opening. In the meantime, though, the Robins are having a great time picking their way through the puddles…
Four weeks ago, the grounds looked like this. (Click here.)

This is a dream come true for Lucille and for many other longtime volunteers with the CMMM. The museum display cases located in the CK Library will provide a year-round public space in which we can showcase items from the many collections that spend most of their time in storage. All exhibits will be switched out as time permits. Stop in regularly to see what’s up next.
‘It’s the Small Things‘ consists of 11 artifacts taken out of storage and includes the following:
To view the exhibit, and others on display, visit the Cut Knife Municipal Library at 113 Broad Street. Click here for Library hours.

The March 26 AGM was pretty exciting. We elected 3 new Trustees!!
The 2023 / 2024 Board is as follows:
The move from Railway Avenue to the MAAC-2 on Broad Street is in progress. The Board table had been relocated and was back in one-piece for the first meeting. Notice the new display case* in the second photo? It is just waiting to be filled with an exhibit!
* These display cases were purchased from the Opal Margot bequest.
