Future Plans and Wish List

One of our upcoming projects involves increasing security at the Museum. Security has not been a problem, but we are being proactive in terms of taking additional security measures. In addition, our library space—which we once thought was ample—has been totally exhausted. We need to add more shelf space and reposition some of the items in the Museum to the Museum Annex.

We now have two separate (but, adjacent) buildings—the original Museum and the Annex acquired a few years ago. A long-term objective is to join these buildings together, reposition the Museum entrance, and relocate many of the items/sections of the Museum. At present this is simply a dream.

The value of Wilson Historical Society’s Endowment as of December 31, 2010 was almost $145,000. Continued growth of the Endowment is essential to ensure the long-run financial viability of the Museum. To read more about the Endowment and/or make donations please visit our Monetary Donations page.

Finally, what the Wilson Historical Museum accomplishes is a direct function of the interests of its volunteers. If you have interest in some facet of the history of Wilson and/or the surrounding communities, we would enjoy visiting with you to see if there is a mutual interest in working together to enhance the preservation of the history of this part of Oklahoma.
