Cloudsplitter Foundation gift to help install new museum floor

by Dan McClelland

Renovations to the largest room at the new Tupper Lake History Museum received a big boost this week from the tri-lakes-based Cloudsplitter Foundation, a not for profit charitable organization which funds many worthwhile civic projects in the region. The Cloudsplitter Foundation routinely partners with the Adirondack Foundation to support local community projects.

The money will be used to pay for a major portion of the new wooden flooring in the new museum’s largest room which has seen extensive renovation this winter by Volunteer Jim Lanthier.

After a winter of major renovations the board of the museum is expecting to have the interior of the premises completed enough to open to the public this summer, with many of the historic artifacts in place.
