Historical Society urges town to prioritize sprinklers and accessibility at museum building
Summary
The Hague Historical Society asked the board to investigate installing a sprinkler system and addressing accessibility at the museum building, saying town records and irreplaceable artifacts are at risk without upgrades.
The Historical Society president (introduced during committee reports) asked the Town Board to investigate installing a sprinkler system in the town building that houses town records and museum collections, saying a lack of sprinklers would make future renovation or a vault addition infeasible without substantial investment.
The society also noted the building's entryway is not handicapped-accessible and asked the town to explore necessary upgrades and cost estimates. The board heard the request during the buildings-and-grounds report and the Historical Society representative said the society would welcome the town beginning to obtain quotes for a sprinkler system as a priority.
