Karples Manuscript Museum Volunteers Needed
The Karpeles Foundation was formed in 1983 to serve local communities and hosts the largest private collection of historic documents and manuscripts in the World. The Museum is a nonprofit 501 C3 organization and is free and open to the public. Here at our location in Highland we also have the privilege of owning a beautiful park garden.
Unfortunately the building and the garden have both become overgrown, and fallen into disrepair. I am confident the museum and its adjoining garden can be restored to their former glory with a little help from local students, volunteers, and support.
If you are able to volunteer, conact Alex LeBlanc at kmuseumshv@aol.com or call 318-820-1642.
