Eventually the time came when, extended beyond his means, Mr. Neil offered the collectipn 'to the Huron County Council for the moderate sum of $4000 provided that he should remain as curator for life and live on , the premises. The 1856 School' was purchased to house the collection following its acquisition in 1949. Then, in 1955, what subsequently became the second best acquisition - a log house - was moved in, and it was here that .Mr. Neil lived until his retirement to Huronview where ,he died in the late '60s. Mrs. Friedl Nanz became his. assistant, and • her stories of those days indicate the dedication which they shared. • ► Over the years, some seven additions were added to the original school building, attendances reached exceptionally, high levels and then declined dramaticly as the condition of the buildings deteriorated.. It was at this point that action was taken to determine the future and in 1983 a study was undertaken. In 1984, Mr. Breede said he joined • architect Chris Borgal to take over the museological side of the project. This resulted in three options being presented to Huron County Council, the third of which, with sonic minor amendments, was adopted. This meant leaving the old school, rebuilding from within, removal of the front vestibule and improvement of the side line. The last part of Mr. Breede's talk was perhaps the most exciting as he described the ways • in which today's standard requirements for museums would .be incorporated in plans • to retain the exceptional characteristics of Huron County's Pioneer Museum. His vivid word pictures of the envisaged tformat were so lucid that it was easy to imagine the result of the four phase program, of which one of the • highlights would, be a gallery dedicated solely to Herbert Neil and the working models which he made for illustrative purposes—.But, as Mr. ,Breede made quite clear, the. practical aspects have been tackled very thoroughly so that .financial resources to implement the plans are already being set in plaqe on a sound and ongoing basis. The final accomplishment would be one of the finest community museums of.its kind in Ontario, and community involvement at all levels would be encouraged. Thanking him, Andrew McLean said that a year ago the problems being faced by. the Museum were grim indeed, and tribute should be paid to Reeve Johnston and .the committee for the excellent job they had done in convincing the county that the Museum should be preserved. It was, he said, a privilege to have heard M. Breede's story which covered every aspect and which pronused a Museum which weuld reflect the conditions of the past and project them into the future. carrying un the traditions and heritage of the past 40 ears since the county undern'uk the responsibility for the Museum Business Session The business 'session of the Huron branch was kept to. a minimum at the meeting. President Dorothy Wallace, referred with pride. to the October meeting based in Goderich, which 'had proved such an exceptional success. A further indication of this was the treasurer's report which revealed that following the event, the September balance .,of $54 had risen to $920.12! ' The slate of officers for the coming year was presented with Dorothy Wallace as president, Chris Borgal as first vicg._. president, Martin Kuipers as Lreasuria , Dorothy Read as secretary and Peg WiUbck as program convener. Referring to meetings at headquarters, Dorothy Wallace said that she was pleased that Mr. Kuipers would now be attending these, and she also noted that Nick Hill was now the President of the Ontario Branch. Referring to office expenses, she -said it was hoped that there would be a move to a new location in the near future. This would be. on Adelaide Street and would be shared with related organizations. Also on the subject of expenditure, she referred to the magazine Acorn, for whiqh, although the work is done. voluntarily, the printing costslwork out to 68 cents per copy. Other useful, information for branches included a notice of lists of speakers now available, as well as register of houses suitable for tour purposes. Program plans for next year will be announced in detail later but a tentative schedule includes a presentation of London LACA(' in April, a picnic in June and, in September, perhaps a house tour.
