Our museum is an old camp building and a challenge to heat. We hold it at 55
in winter to manage all the artifacts. We hope to add insulation for better
management.

in the winter? The historical society who owns a one-room school in our ar
ea doesn’t want to heat it in the winter because it isn’t us
ed and there is a significant heating bill involved. However, I know that e
ven minimally heating an old building helps to preserve it. So, I would app
reciate hearing from those of you who own a historic building and close it u
p for the winter—do you heat it or not?
