Breede also suggests improvements to
the liaison with the county school system
to more closely tailor displays and
demonstrations to the school curriculum.
Breede is,•presently making contacts with
the school board to see where the new
museum will fit, into the curriculum in
order to structure the educational ex-
' perience more formally than in the past.
Satellite museums will make the county
more a part of the museum programming.
Breede suggests exhibits could be placed
in Exeter.and Wingham. The museum is at
present placing an exhibit in the Blyth
gallery at the Blyth Memorial Hall and
through its closer association with the Van
Egmond Foundation, there may be a
satellite exhibit placed at the Van Egmond
House. There is also the possibility of
strengthening the. relationship with the
Huron 'Historic Gaol which already uses
some of the museum's artifacts in its
display.
Breede sees the Golden Triangle as a
potential market for the Huron County
Pioneer Museum and hopes to move into
that market eventually. He anticipates
between 30,000 and 35,000 visitors a year to
the museum once the new inarket strategy
is implemented.
Breede has just returned from a major
show in Detroit where he shared a booth
with the Town of Goderich and the Blyth
Summer Festival, so the museum is
already making thrusts into new market
places.
The physical development of the
museum will occur over a four year period
with sequential opening of new areas and
galleries. This development will ensure
continued public interest in the museum.
. allow for the integration of new exhibits
; and displays with the development, reduce
the capital outlay on a year over year basis
and allow fund raising to keep pace with
the development.
With a projected $2..8 million capital pro-
ject, the Huron County Pioneer Musewn
building project is the biggest rnuseun
upgrading project in the province. The
museum has received grants totalling
$238,750 through the Canada Job Develop-
ment Program and the National Museums
of Canada, Musetith Assistance Program.
The grant of $123,000 under the Canada
Job Development- Program is being used
to hire, support people to assist with the
packing and storing of museum artifacts
for the duration of the construction period;
while the new buildings for the museum
are being built. Six people have been hired
and began working at the museum at the
first of January.
The Museum Assistance Prograrn grant
of $115,750 will be used to,prepare the ar-
chitectural 'drawings of the new museum
buildings. The architect who assisted with
the feasibility study, Christopher Borgal of
Blyth was chosen as the architect to
prepare sketches for the new museum at
the March session of Huron Count' Coun-
cd.
The reconstruction of the museum
became necessary when .in December
1980., a section of roof failed under snow
loading. This was subsequently repaired
irection
and in 1982, B.M. Ross and Associates
were c6lxunissioned to perform an
engineering survey of the structural com-
ponents of the main Wilding. This study
found the bearing capacity of all of the se-
condfloor structure of both the school and
its additions was insufficient to carry
loadings required by applicable codes.
In addition, the roof areas were not
capable of supporting loads as required by
current codes. Roof leakage in the addi-
tions to the school building were also
noted. The result of this report was the
closing of the museum during the winter
seasons of 1982 - 1983 and the closing of I lie
entire second floor display areas to the
present.
In 1982, consideration was also given to
the relotatiol of the museum to the com-
munity of Vanastra iii the outskirts of Clin-
torh: The proposal would liave seen the
museum located in an abandoned school
building, once a part Of the former radar
training station. The firm of"Museun Pru-
granunes Collaborative recommended -
against this relocation in a report
prepared in November, 1982. •
