We are grateful to the Sweetwater County Commissioners for their on-going support in renovating the Old Post Office building for a new museum. They have provided the lion’s share of the funding for the project. 

However, we are also happy to report that the museum has other supporters as well. Recently the Sweetwater County Museum Foundation authorized expenditures of up to $12,000 to complete the painting and installation of the blinds on the main floor of the building. These items were not included in the scope of work established by the county and we are grateful to the Foundation for their assistance in this. In addition to raising their own funds with memorial brick sales and other projects, the Foundation has also accepted donations to the museum made by other organizations such as Washington Elementary, the Green River Historic Preservation Commission and individual donors in the community. 

            For more information see the Summer 2001 Newsletter.

Put a bit of yourself into the Sweetwater County Historical Museum!  Bricks imprinted with names are being sold to help fund the renovation of the Old Green River Post Office building into the new home for the County Museum.  The bricks will be used in the lobby area of the building.

Giving a Brick is a great Gift Idea.  A certificate will be mailed to the recipient in the name of the giver.

Large bricks (8" x 8") are $75 and can have up to four lines of 12 characters each.

Small bricks (8" x 4") are $50 and can have two lines of 12 characters each.
