How Can
I Help Support the Cowan Railroad Museum?
As an all volunteer effort, the Cowan Railroad Museum greatly appreciates your support in many fashions:
- Become a member. The annual dues
of $20 is a small amount to spend out of your pocket,
but goes a long way towards covering regular expenses
incurred by the museum. Renew each January 1.
- Be a tour guide. Help us keep
the museum open to the public by volunteering as a guide.
Greet people and ask them to sign our guest book. Sign up for 3 hours a week.
- Help in the Gift Shop. Like to chat with people? Can you spare 3 hours a week? No knowledge of railroad required to help people choose items from our gift shop.
- Former employee plaques. Do you
have an ancestor that worked for the railroad? Honor
them by purchasing a brass
plaque for $50 with their name and service dates.
- Donate railroad items. Memorabilia
from the railroads needs to be preserved for future generations.
Don’t let items waste away in your attic or basement.
- Like us on Facebook, and share links with all your friends. Check in on Facebook when you visit the museum, and leave comments.
- Join a work crew. Whether
on the HO scale layouts, or prototype equipment, volunteers
are needed to keep these artifacts in top shape. Volunteer
to help out!
- And of course, donations of any amount
are always appreciated!
We are specifically looking for the following assistance:
- Carpentry skills to help complete exterior resoration of the Caboose.
- General help with Fall Heritage Festival. As the primary fundraiser for Cowan Railroad Museum, this 3 day Festival on the 3rd weekend of September requires over 100 volunteers. And extra hands are always needed to keep the Museum open extended hours.
