H. Earl Clack Museum to move next month

The H. Earl Clack Memorial Museum Board has tentatively set their move to their new location, at the former Griggs Printing Building on the 10 Block of Fifth Avenue, for April.

H. Earl and Margaret Turner Clack Memorial Museum Foundation Board President Elaine Morse said the new location is all but prepared.

“It looks nice,” Morse said.

She said some work is still being done in the back room and they still need to install motion-activated lights in the bathrooms and the Lions Club is helping them install a ramp for handicap accessibility.

Morse and Board Chair Lela Patera said they’ve been in touch with Montana State University-Northern, and the Lights Head Football Coach Jerome Souers agreed to have all the players help them with the move.

The board decided to give the Holiday Village Mall, the current location of the museum, notice that they will have vacated the space by the end of next month and they set possible dates for the move as either the weekend of April 9 or the weekend of April 23.

The board members discussed possibly renting a U-Haul truck for the move and offered to donate their own vehicles and trailers to the effort as well.

Patera said it is a big project that would require all the hands they can get, and would probably require the whole weekend.
