| IRS990/Desc | 0 | PRESERVATION OF HISTORIC PROPERTIES: THE EPHRAIM HISTORICAL FOUNDATION (EHF), WITH THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OF ITS ENDOWMENT, THE EPHRAIM FOUNDATION HERITAGE FUND, OWNS, OPERATES, AND PRESERVES A TOTAL OF SEVEN HISTORIC BUILDINGS IN THE VILLAGE OF EPHRAIM. IN ADDITION TO THE HISTORIC BUILDINGS, THE EHF MAINTAINS THE GROUNDS OF THESE BUILDINGS, A GREEN SPACE IN THE VILLAGE, AND AN ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDING EQUIPPED WITH CLIMATE-CONTROLLED STORAGE, OFFICES, AND A CONFERENCE ROOM. EACH PROPERTY PRESENTS ITS OWN PRESERVATION AND MAINTENANCE CHALLENGES, SUCH AS ENSURING THE HISTORICAL INTEGRITY OF THE PROPERTIES, BUT UNDER THE DIRECTION OF A DEDICATED BUILDINGS & GROUNDS COMMITTEE (MADE UP ENTIRELY OF VOLUNTEERS) AND THE SUPPORT OF OUR MEMBERSHIP, THE EHF IS ABLE TO MEET THESE CHALLENGES IN A TIMELY AND RESPONSIBLE MANNER. THE COMMITTEE ROUTINELY DOES WALK-THROUGHS OF ALL THE EHF PROPERTIES AND COMPILES A LIST OF REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE NEEDED. THESE NEEDS ARE THEN PRIORITIZED AND COMPLETED, OFTEN THROUGH THE GENEROUS DONATIONS OF OUR MEMBERS. THESE BUILDING SERVE AS MUSEUMS, ARCHIVES, AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES FOR THE EHF SO THAT WE MAY CONTINUE TO FULFILL OUR MISSION.PIONEER SCHOOL MUSEUM (1880): THE PIONEER SCHOOL MUSEUM IS THE "FLAGSHIP" MUSEUM OF THE EHF. THE EHF WAS FOUNDED IN 1949 BECAUSE OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS' DESIRE TO SAVE THIS HISTORIC ONE-ROOM SCHOOLHOUSE. TODAY, THE SCHOOL IS A MUSEUM INTERPRETED TO THE LATE 1930S. ITS FINISHED BASEMENT PROVIDES ADDITIONAL, CLIMATE-CONTROLLED STORAGE FOR EHF ARCHIVES, ARTIFACTS, AND RECORDS. IN 2017, AN NEW HVAC SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED IN THE SCHOOL TO AID IN CLIMATE CONTROL. THE EHF NOW CONDUCTS A VARIETY OF CHILDREN'S PROGRAMS IN THE MUSEUM AS WELL AS WELCOMING TOURISTS AND MEMBERS.ANDERSON BARN MUSEUM (1880): THE ANDERSON BARN HISTORY MUSEUM INCLUDES TWO EXHIBITION AREAS AND A HANDS-ON HAYLOFT AREA FOR CHILDREN. THIS 1880S BARN WAS PURCHASED AND REHABILITATED BY THE EHF IN THE 1980S AND SERVED FOR MANY YEARS AS BOTH A MUSEUM AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE CENTER FOR THE EHF. NOW, WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ARC (SEE BELOW), THE BARN IS DEDICATED ENTIRELY TO ROTATING EXHIBITS. GROUNDS OF THE ANDERSON BARN HISTORY MUSEUM: WHEN THE ARC WAS CONSTRUCTED, A DONOR PROVIDED FUNDING TO CREATE A LARGE INVITING GARDEN AND LAWN AT THE SITE. THE GARDEN AND LAWN ARE ENJOYED BY MEMBERS, THE PUBLIC, AND LOCAL ARTISTS. IT ALSO IS USED FOR MANY OF OUR CHILDREN'S PROGRAMS. BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THE GARDEN AND LAWN, THE DONOR PROVIDED THE EHF WITH AN UNDERGROUND SPRINKLER SYSTEM TO HELP MAINTAIN THE GARDEN DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. THE DONOR ALSO PROVIDES FUNDING FOR ROUTINE LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE.ARCHIVAL RESOURCE CENTER (ARC) (2009): THE ARC WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 2009 AS AN ATTACHMENT TO THE ANDERSON BARN HISTORY MUSEUM. THIS BUILDING WAS FULLY FUNDED THROUGH DONATIONS. IT INCLUDES THE EHF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES, CONFERENCE ROOM, AND ARCHIVAL STORAGE (ALL CLIMATE-CONTROLLED). EPHRAIM ORGANIZATIONS ARE ABLE TO UTILIZE OUR CONFERENCE ROOM FOR THEIR MEETINGS, AND MANY HAVE DONE SO SINCE THE BUILDING WAS CONSTRUCTED. SVALHUS (1890): THIS IS AN UNUSUAL LOG BUILDING, DESIGNED IN THE TRADITIONAL NORWEGIAN STYLE OF THE SVALHUS OR "COOLING HOUSE." THE PROPERTY WAS ORIGINALLY OWNED BY AN EARLY SETTLER OF EPHRAIM. THE BUILDING LATER WAS USED BY A HOTEL AS A SUMMER COTTAGE. IN THE MID-1990S, THE SVALHUS WAS DONATED TO THE EHF. THE EHF USED THE PROPERTY FOR MEETINGS AND AS AN OFFICE BEFORE THE ARC WAS CONSTRUCTED. CURRENTLY, IT IS USED FOR CHILDREN'S' PROGRAMS AND FOR MEETINGS. IN THE SUMMER OF 2017, WORK WAS STARTED ON CREATING A REFERENCE LIBRARY IN THE SVALHUS. THE LIBRARY WAS OPENED IN 2018.ANDERSON STORE MUSEUM (1858): THE ANDERSON STORE WAS BUILT IN THE 1850S BY THE ANDERSON FAMILY (WHO ALSO BUILT THE ANDERSON BARN HISTORY MUSEUM, SEE ABOVE) AND WAS OPERATED BY THE ANDERSON FAMILY FOR 100 YEARS. IN THE 1960S, IT WAS OPENED AS A MUSEUM AND OPERATED BY THE EHF. THE EHF PURCHASED THE BUILDING FROM THE VILLAGE OF EPHRAIM IN T |

A TRUNK, CONTAINING AUTHENTIC ARTIFACTS AND RELATED ACTIVITIES, IS PRESENTED TO SEVERAL CLASSES. A STAFF MEMBER AND VOLUNTEER ACCOMPANY THE TRUNK DRESSED IN COSTUME REPRESENTING HISTORICAL FIGURES FROM EPHRAIM'S PAST. THEY WERE ABLE TO DESCRIBE WHAT LIFE WAS LIKE FOR THEIR CHARACTERS. EACH TRUNK WAS DESIGNED TO BE GRADE-SPECIFIC AND RELATED TO CURRENT CURRICULUM. IN 2013-2014, THE EHF VISITED THE 4TH GRADERS AND KINDERGARTENERS A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES WITH THREE DIFFERENT TRUNKS (TRUNK TOPICS RELATE TO THE HISTORY OF EPHRAIM AND DOOR COUNTY AND INCLUDED: EARLY YEARS IN EPHRAIM; THE VICTORIAN ERA; TOURISM AND THE CHERRY INDUSTRY).

EHF MUSEUMS: DURING THE SUMMER SEASON, THE EHF OPERATES A TOTAL OF FIVE MUSEUMS: THE ANDERSON BARN HISTORY MUSEUM; THE ANDERSON STORE MUSEUM; THE PIONEER SCHOOL; THE GOODLETSON CABIN; AND THE HISTORIC IVERSON HOUSE MUSEUM. THE HISTORIC IVERSON HOUSE CAN BE VIEWED ONLY BY SCHEDULED TOUR. THE OTHER MUSEUMS ARE OPEN DURING THE SUMMER AND VISITORS ARE WELCOMED. EACH MUSEUM PROVIDES A DISTINCT ILLUSTRATION OF EPHRAIM'S HISTORY AND IS FURNISHED WITH ARTIFACTS FROM THE FOUNDATION'S COLLECTIONS: THE ANDERSON STORE FUNCTIONS AS A MUSEUM STORE, SELLING LOCAL HISTORY BOOKS, PENNY CANDY, AND HOLLYHOCK SEEDS AMONG OTHER WARES, WHILE ALSO DISPLAYING MANY ORIGINAL ARTIFACTS INCLUDING PATENT MEDICINES, SHOES, AND HOUSEHOLD GOODS; THE PIONEER SCHOOL IS INTERPRETED TO THE SCHOOL DAYS OF 1939 WITH DESKS AND BLACKBOARDS; THE ONE-ROOM GOODLETSON CABIN EXHIBIT INTERPRETS PIONEER LIFE ON THE FRONTIER IN 1855; AND THE HISTORIC IVERSON HOUSE IS INTERPRETED TO THE 1880'S, WITH A PERMANENT EXHIBIT ILLUSTRATING THE TIME OF ANNA AND ANDERS PETTERSON, THE THIRD MORAVIAN MINISTER AND HIS FAMILY AND WITH REFERENCE TO PASTOR IVERSON, THE BUILDER OF THE HOUSE. THE ANDERSON BARN STANDS APART FROM THE REST OF THE MUSEUMS AS IT INCLUDES ANNUALLY ROTATING EXHIBITS, FEATURING THE FOUNDATION'S COLLECTIONS AND A GENEALOGY PROJECT. UPSTAIRS IN THE ANDERSON BARN OUR HANDS-ON HAYLOFT FEATURES OUR CHILDREN'S MASCOT, BJORN THE HORSE.

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc | 0 | PRESERVATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE HISTORY OF EPHRAIM: A GREAT DEAL OF WORK GOES ON BEHIND THE SCENES IN THE EHF ARCHIVES AND IN OUR ARTIFACT STORAGE AREAS. THE EHF IS THE STEWARD FOR A LARGE AND VARIED COLLECTION OF ARTIFACTS AND ARCHIVES. FROM THE OBJECTS AND DOCUMENTS IN OUR COLLECTION WE CONDUCT RESEARCH ON THE HISTORY AND HERITAGE OF EPHRAIM AND THIS RESEARCH IS THEN USED IN PROGRAMS, EXHIBITS, PUBLICATIONS, RESEARCH REQUESTS FROM EHF MEMBERS AND THE PUBLIC, AND TO ADD TO OUR OWN UNDERSTANDING OF THE COMMUNITY WE REPRESENT.ARCHIVES AND COLLECTION CARE AND DOCUMENTATION: THE EHF HAS A PROFESSIONAL CURATORIAL STAFF (EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR/CURATOR AND COLLECTION MANAGER) TASKED TO WORK WITH AN ARCHIVES COMMITTEE OF VOLUNTEERS TO ENSURE THE PROPER CARE AND DOCUMENTATION OF THE EHF'S COLLECTION. THE EHF IS THE ONLY HISTORICAL ORGANIZATION IN DOOR COUNTY EQUIPPED WITH CLIMATE-CONTROLLED (TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY) STORAGE AREA AND THE STAFF NEEDED TO CARE FOR THE COLLECTIONS. THE EHF STAFF OFTEN SERVES AS A RESOURCE FOR OTHER HISTORIC ORGANIZATION AND HISTORY SOCIETIES IN DOOR COUNTY. THE COMMUNITY RECOGNIZES THE EHF'S ABILITY TO RESPONSIBLY AND PROFESSIONALLY CARE FOR ARTIFACTS AND AS SUCH, THE EHF RECEIVES A NUMBER OF INTERESTING AND IMPORTANT OBJECTS AND DOCUMENTS ANNUALLY. THE CURATOR AND THE ARCHIVE COMMITTEE MAKE DECISIONS ON WHICH ITEMS TO ADD TO THE EHF COLLECTIONS. AS ITEMS COME INTO THE COLLECTION, THEY ARE DOCUMENTED; HOWEVER, THERE REMAIN A LARGE NUMBER OF ARTIFACTS THAT WERE DONATED TO THE EHF BEFORE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PASTPERFECT IN THE EARLY 1990S. DOCUMENTING THESE ARTIFACTS IS ONGOING WORK AND GREAT STRIDES ARE BEING MADE. WORK CONTINUES ON REORGANIZING THE EHF COLLECTIONS IN THE STORAGE AREAS. IN 2014, A SUMP PUMP OVER-FLOW CAUSED OUR BASEMENT TO FLOOD, BUT EFFECTIVE DISASTER PLANNING, INCLUDING FLASH FREEZING OF AFFECTED MATERIALS, SAVED VIRTUALLY ALL OF OUR ARCHIVAL MATERIALS FROM THE WATER DAMAGE DURING AREA HIGH WATER IN SEPTEMBER, 2014. IN 2016, REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS WERE FINALIZED AND COLLECTIONS WERE RETURNED TO THE ARCHIVAL STORAGE AREAS. ALSO IN 2016, THE EHF HIRED A THIRD FULL-TIME STAFF MEMBER TO ALLOW PROFESSIONAL CURATOR TO FOCUS TIME IN THE COLLECTIONS. THE SVALHUS LIBRARY HAS BEEN AN ADDITIONAL WAY FOR US TO SHARE OUR COLLECTION.EXHIBITS AND RESEARCH: THE EHF'S MUSEUM EXHIBITS ARE ROUTINELY REVIEWED TO ENSURE THE CORRECT INFORMATION IS BEING COMMUNICATED, AND THIS INFORMATION IS BEING COMMUNICATED IN THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY. THE ANDERSON BARN MUSEUM, WITH ITS ROTATING EXHIBITS, PROVIDES THE MOST FLEXIBILITY REGARDING EXHIBITS, AND ENABLES THE STAFF THE FREEDOM TO EXPERIMENT WITH NEW EXHIBIT IDEAS AND FORMS. FOR SEVERAL YEARS, THE EHF HAS CONDUCTED RESEARCH ON FAMILY GENEALOGIES AND DISPLAYED THE RESEARCH IN THE BARN. THIS EXHIBIT HAS EVOLVED INTO AN ONGOING RESEARCH PROJECT THAT WILL CONTINUE INTO THE FUTURE. OUR ROTATING EXHIBITS ALSO ENABLE THE EHF TO GIVE THE PUBLIC AND MEMBERS ACCESS TO THE EHF'S EXTENSIVE COLLECTION. PUBLICATIONS: THE EHF SELLS A VARIETY OF BOOKS IN THE ANDERSON STORE MUSEUMS, ALL OF WHICH ARE RELATED TO THE HISTORY AND HERITAGE OF EPHRAIM AND DOOR COUNTY. A NUMBER OF THESE BOOKS ARE PUBLISHED BY THE EPHRAIM HISTORICAL FOUNDATION. |
