FORM 990, PART XI, LINE 9:

“Collection items purchased -120,603.”

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

“This process has not changed from the prior year.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART III, LINE 1A:

“In conformity with the practice followed by most museums, the society's financial statements exclude the value of the collection objects, and no determination has been made as to the aggregate value of such items. The society collects manuscripts, books, maps, newspapers, photographs, and works of art, as well as museum artifacts that are related to westport's history. The society's collections are maintained for research, education, and public exhibition in furtherance of public service rather than for financial gain. In addition, the society owns two historical properties. The first is bell schoolhouse at 25 drift road, westport, ma. This property was deeded to the society subject to covenants that include requirements to maintain the building and its belfry, pursue antiquarian and/or historical purposes, and if transferred, it can only be transferred to another antiquarian or historical society, without charge. The second property is the cadman-white-handy house at 202 hix bridge road, westport, ma; a residence registered with the national register of historic places. This property is subject to a historic preservation agreement and is preserved for the benefit of the public. Collections are the most valuable assets of the society and are protected, kept unencumbered, cared for, and preserved. The society does not include either the cost or the value of its collections in the statements of financial position, nor does it recognize gifts of collection items as revenues in the statements of activities. Because items acquired for collections by purchase are not capitalized, the cost of those acquisitions is reported as a decrease in net assets in the statement of activities.”
