So there was a group back there, Save Our School Committee, that, that wanted to save the school, and it was comprised of people in the community, some teachers that were taught at the school and so forth.\n\nAl Rasmus: They put together a committee to raise funds to move the school and it was moved initially behind Ross Shopping Center to a city park and they tried to restore it there and, uh, it was out of sight so the people didn't really see it once the shopping center was done.

We were under considerable pressure from the community to do something with the building. We had, the building was boarded up because of the vandalism problem. We decided that the only way that we're going to get this building, uh, in the community eye, so to speak, was to start making some improvements in it.\n\nJim Hupy: So we planted the lawn and painted the building on the outside and removed all of the boards off the windows and stuff.

There hasn't been a museum before, but it's part of the restoration of the school. They had taken things out of the school before that are going to be displayed in the museum.
