edit, nevermind, found it in the web link

Last year, the revenue needed to operate the museum was cut off due to the termination of our exclusive military base tour.

Financial. The museum was supported by commercial tours, but that stopped so they need donations and more business at their bars to support keeping the museum open.

Ask the proprietor what the secret knock is before entering the speakeasy on the second floor.

Post by: zippz on November 16, 2017, 09:10:38 AM: Good news for home of the brave. A large donor came through so they'll stay in business for a few more months, and their fundraiser day last week was successful. They just need a long term plan to stay in business now.
