Historical Society seeks to build new museum
Now that Orchard Park Heritage Interpretative Exhibit has been completed, the Sunnyvale Historical Society has set its sites high in the hopes of building an Art History Museum. At the last meeting on July 11, the board voted in Laura Babcock to be the chairperson for the project.
Babcock hopes to purchase the house on Sunnyvale Avenue for a museum on the first floor and offices on the second. The facility would also be used for events such as weddings and funerals.
On July 10, the city council voted to make the prospective house first on its list for consideration of designated landmarks.
The society pledged to work side by side with the city to ensure the success of the project, and Babcock is already conducting studies for it and talking with the homeowner. The museum would be a nonprofit entity under the historical society umbrella and a potential income-collecting establishment.
