The Calico Rock Museum & Visitor Center is asking for community support to help fund its expansion into the historic Calico Rock Hardware Co. building. With a major contribution from the Windgate Foundation, the museum has made progress toward its financial goals, yet still needs additional funding to secure the grant.
To unlock the full amount from the foundation, the museum must raise roughly 10% of the total project cost. Although the museum met its September and October fundraising targets, it currently faces shortfalls for November and December, which could impact upcoming project timelines.
Scheduled to begin in January, the expansion project includes significant improvements to the building, such as adding a ramp to connect the ground and main floors, constructing gallery walls, cutting access openings between the existing museum and the new space, refinishing sidewalks, and upgrading the electrical system.
Contributions are tax-deductible and can be made online at www.calicorockmuseum.com or by mailing checks to Calico Rock Museum, 105 Main Street, Calico Rock, AR 72519. For additional information, contact museum staff at 870-297-6100.
