The Cole Camp Museum
does not charge a fee to come in and browse our exhibits
that detail the history of our quaint little town.
Instead, we rely on the graciousness of our visitors
to make donations as they enter
to help support our cause.
It would not be possible to keep our doors open
to the public without your kindness.
However, as with any organization,
we still have operational costs.
All of our workers are volunteers
so there are NO administrative costs
or salaries that need to be paid,
but there are operational costs for
lights so you can see,
water so we can clean the exhibits,
a phone so you can call us
to see that we are open or answer your questions,
insurance that protects the property,
security to protect the items on loan,
you understand, don't you?

The Cole Camp Museum does host fundraising events throughout the year,
but 2020 is proving to make that a little more difficult.
There will not be a Fashion Show / Ice Cream Social, nor a Fall Poker Run.
We do hope to host our Old Tyme Breakfast in the fall as well as our booth at Christbaumfest.

The Museum enjoys Cole Camp High School Alums,
especially when they return for reunions.
Unfortunately, due to the Covid - 19,
the 2020 All - School Reunion
has been postponed until July 3, 2021.
We encourage our Alums to stop by,
not just during the fair or reunions, but are welcome anytime.
