Renovation Update: Taking Out the Trash

A heap of trash includes lots of cardboard boxes found in the basement of the Peale!

Help us take out the trash!

This summer an intrepid team from BGE cleaned out the basement of their company’s birthplace – the Peale Museum. We now need to haul the broken chairs, dented metal cabinets, and other detritus from the Museum’s 20th century life away for recycling and safe disposal. A generous board member has offered up to $1,500 in matching funds for the costs of removal. Can you make a donation or offer in-kind help for this essential renovation clean-up? Email us if YOU can help!
