Definitely sounds like it's worth a visit. <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by arnstg</i> <br />The second time was about an hour. Nothing new to keep me interested.. I will still stop there when I go to Altoona just to support their efforts. [/quote] <br />That's been my beef with other museums too. Gotta change the exhibits to keep it fresh! <br />And I understand the money shortage...seems that only the really large, "glamorous" museums have contacts with wealthy contributors to help them prosper. The rest just struggle along. <br />MP <br />[/quote] <br />Spent 5 years with the local railroad museum. One of the largest in the county, but completely self funded. most other museums get government funding each year, the RR museum asks for it and is turned away for not having enough money (Go figure), but authough there are a few rich folks in town, their donations go to the government funded museums, and the railroad museum struggles to keep its head above water. Now CSX is ripping the only successful fundraiser out from under them...
