Yesterday, the museum launched a Go Fund Me campaign to try and raise the funds necessary to build an elevator that will help access the museums mezzanine, which houses its exhibit on Chinese immigration and the railway, and a detailed model train exhibit.

Laura Young took over the helm at the museum about two months ago, and this is one of the first substantive projects she has undertaken.
