Six years and $100,000. With considerable fundraising in advance and a matching "Challenge" grant. I myself presented the Museum with a $750 check from our NRHS Chapter as our share.

But as I'm trying to make apparent, the way Commonwealth bureaucracy works is that you can't donate or fundraise for what will become physical Commonwealth assets when done. Or at least that's what I've been told. Restore assets they already have, yes. Donate the materials or construction for a new structure, no.
