Ive lived in ftw long enough to know one thing-you might as well kiss it goodbye- it will be scattered to the winds come june.
heres a few "kiss-keep it simple solutions"
relocate it back to the original building on harrison st- close to harrison square- a park and walk tourist added-value item. or is there space in the Lincoln office building- adjacent?
next- civil war cannon- "park" it in the courthouse, by the sheriffs office, as an interesting static display, or "donate"/loan it to the WW2 vistory museum, for display, and load/fire excercises on holidays, special events- out in the boonies.
all the books, papers, etc, since the history center says it doesnt have space- locate them to the new ACPL building-reference/non-circulating. Place Curt Witcher, and Gerald Propocowicz as records/documents custodians- lots of historical/genealogical information contained within. again- WW2 victory museum- as veterans are usually Civil War history buffs as well.
other misc. memoribilia-what about the Indiana state historical society, and librarys/museums in Indy? at least it wont all be GONE LIKE THE WIND" scattered to the 4 corners of america, or shipped lock, stock, and barrell to Philadelphia.
just a few ideas. but if the lincoln museum closes, and its "gone with the wind" , you can call that grave misfortune "Booths Ghosts Revenge". Old John wilkes Booth will be gloating "sic semper tyrannis" from his grave...
