New Crab Orchard Museum roofs as key to preserving history
The Historic Crab Orchard Museum in Tazewell faces extensive roof leaks that threaten exhibits. Executive director Ross Weeks seeks $38,500 from the Tazewell County Board of Supervisors for a new roof, after state funding cuts of $75,000 via a budget impasse. The museum aims to raise $50,000 from donors and has begun fundraising, contributing $10,000–$12,000 from its rainy day fund and $4,000–$5,000 more via appeals, but county support is urged to cover the rest.
