Despite Mrs. Fisher's generosity, the museum funds are presently MOOD in the red, due mainly to the rising construction costs and decline in the recent value of some of the stocks Mrs. Fisher gave the society. The society, in turn, is looking for help from the community. Further, it is looking for community donations of museum pieces, especially Victorian furniture.

Donations are subject to review by a committee before acceptance. The society will hold its monthly meetings at the new building and the local senior citizens will also meet there.

It is the town's first museum.

About 500 people attended the open house of the Cleo Redd Fisher Museum of the Mohican Historical Society a week ago and came away impressed with the building, designed in the Greek Revival tradition, popular in this country in the early I800s. The museum won't be open to the public until next year sometime. When Cleo Redd Fisher died several years ago at 77, her will declared that her property at 203 East Main St. be given to the society for the construction of a museum. Further, she willed it certain blue chip stocks, which when liquidated, were used to defray construction costs.

Mrs. Fisher was a widow fol most of her life. Residents remember her as somewhat an eccentric. They remember seeing her old home, cluttered with collections everything imaginable; they remember her short, squat figure sitting on her porch across from the C. B.

Budd School, or frequently dining out or puttering around town in an old auto.
