New Building Planned
The enclosed brochure describes the proposed new building and the advantages it would give to the Museum and the Fairgrounds. Read it over carefully.

There are many ways you can help us to see this happen. If you want extra copies of the brochure feel free to copy them or contact the Museum. Extra copies may be picked up at The Cricket on the Common as well.

The Moxie Bottle Stand stands 30 feet tall. The proposed building would be about 35 feet tall and 30 feet wide. It would house rest rooms and a small office/store and space for a greatly enlarged Moxie display area. The new display would be the largest of its kind of Moxie memorabilia in the country a tribute to Dr. Augustin Thompson, inventor, in Union, his birthplace.
