“You should use the John Gee Historical museum in the AME church in Gallipolis as a template. (…) They are also using ARC funding. We were there Saturday. It’s amazing and preserves all the historical accomplishments of the community.”

“Yes…perfect for a museum. Get national Underground Railroad organizations and historic preservation groups for the Macedonia hill church to help fund.”
