Annual Fund Drive:
We extend sincere thanks to all of you who have donated to our Fund
Drive. Unfortunately, we are still about $1,000.00 short of our
projected goal. We welcome all additional donations with our deepest
gratitude. As we roll further into 2008, we hope to maintain and
improve our use of technology to better serve the Museum and Society.
We have come very far thanks to all of your generosity.
Our donation form is available

Gift Shoppe
The gift shop features interesting gifts
for an especially nice remembrance of Ashland: Mural Walk tiles
and note cards, tee shirts, this year’s collectible
ornament, featuring the old City Hall with the fountain park;
Ashland calendars, recalling “Ashland’s History, One Day at a
Time;” and books by area authors. New this season are DVD slide
shows and home movies: “Ashland Lake Scenes,” “Glimpses of
Ashland’s Past,” and “Reflections of 2nd Street,”
with then and now photos.
New sweatshirts & Tote Bags with the Oredock/Lighthouse logo and Mint
tins with photos of some of Ashland's landmarks of the past and
present are now available. Stop in and take a look.

Wanted:
Photos: -Ashland's Neighborhood Grocery
Stores -
The museum has very little information about the many grocery
stores that stood on the corners of Ashland neighborhoods. We have
their names and addresses, but would love to create a photo and memory
file of these stores. If you have a photo of the grocery store in your
neighborhood, please bring it to the Museum so we can scan it for our
files, or email the photo to us. Please scan the photo at 300dpi or
higher. If you have any stories, please share them with us by
writing them down and bring or send them to us. Without your
photos or stories, the history of these neighborhood stores will not
be complete.
