About the Museum
Although it is not apparent from the outside, there continues to be a lot of activity inside the Windham Museum in preparation for a permanent opening. You may recall that, several years ago, the interior of the Armstrong Building was restored as closely as possible to its original state. Since then, the Museum Trustees, Dennis Root, Kim Monterio, and Jean Manthorne have been working to restore the Museum artifacts and create displays to showcase and secure these historic items. The final stage of the project, which must be completed prior to the official opening, is the cataloguing of the entire collection using a software system called Past Perfect, which is specifically designed for museums. Members of the Windham Historical Society have been using their monthly meetings to catalogue artifacts in the collection.
