LONG BEACH, NY — The Long Beach Historical Museum is in need of restoration work. The organization has created a GoFundMepage to raise funds. The museum needs to replace all 47 windows, they wrote in a Facebook post. The overhaul also covers from top to bottom of the edifice, with repairs to the chimney and fixing a cracking basement floor on the agenda. The Historical Society has other projects to "restore our museum to its original glory," according to the Facebook post. The GoFundMe goal is $25,000, but as page creator Sue Friedman wrote: "No donation is too small, and we appreciate every penny." The West Penn Street museum is 113 years old and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
