We are starting out with a modest goal of $5000, because I will personally have to pay the taxes on this money (Vice Chief). We are not a tax exempt organization but we are currently working on that situation and should have a tax exempt solution this year.
We are building a museum in the Corbin, Kentucky area (we will obviously rent and or lease a building not going to construct a new facility) but we will be building the catalog and displays and this costs money.
We have lofty goals regarding what type of artifacts we wish to display. We are going to use the museum first for teaching our youth about our history and secondly we will utilize this museum to purchase precious artifacts if possible. It is heartbreaking to watch these artifacts being sold on eBay and Marketplace. These items should be where they belong and with the people to whom they truly belong.
