The Museum will not be checking out any more traveling trunks (other than those already scheduled) after Tuesday, May 1st. We hope to let you know very soon when and where they will be available for use during the 2012-2013 school year. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for your support over the last 10 years! Sincerely, Diane Schupbach |
