              Help Save The Nature Museum

    
  The Lake Erie Islands Historical Society along with the Lake Erie Islands Chapter of the Black Swamp Conservancy has formed a committee to purchase the  "Alaskan Wildlife Museum" located on Meacham Road, Put-in-Bay Township, Ohio.

  The owners have offered the wooded property, museum building and all the wonderful mounts to the committee to open it as a Nature Museum for the Lake Erie Islands. This will be the future home for the popular Nature Camp program along with Elderhostel and other planned events.

   Please help by making a donation to the "Nature Museum Fund" c/o Lake Erie Islands Historical Society, P.O. Box 25, Put-in-Bay, Oh 43456. If you would like more information please call 419-285-2804.

   The committee is selling one square meters of the property to help support this project. For $50.00 you receive an honorary ownership certificate and a donation receipt for tax purposes.
