We are hoping to have enough costume pieces to
outfit all of our helpers for our historical walking tours this summer.
If you have anything that you would be willing to donate, we would be grateful
for your donation and pick up, or you can drop by at 15 Curtis Avenue N., and
show the staff your articles.
