B. Museum Mission Statement. Director Kilsdonk summarized the efforts by the
Museum’s Advisory and Friends Boards to revise the Museum’s Mission
Statement. The scope of the existing statement was broadened to include
traveling art and science exhibits and programs. In addition, the Museum would
not be expected to collect art and science or produce its own art and science
exhibits due to the limited staff size, storage, and funding. The revised Mission
Statement is as follows: The Estes Park Area Historical Museum collects,
interprets and preserves local history, as well as presenting exhibits, programs
and events, for the education and benefit of residents and visitors of all ages.
Concluding all discussion, the Committee recommends approval of the revised
Museum Mission Statement as presented.
