A new museum in the City of Hartford is coming together.

Many people visited their pop-up event at the Jack Russell Memorial Library's Community Room from February 23 to February 26. A variety of items were on display that will be featured in the new museum.

Gerry Schnorenberg is involved with the planning and told WTKM about how it started.

"It's all happening because of the generosity of the Hartford Historical Society and the Jack Russell History Room. We have formed a group that will bring a new museum to Hartford. We want to include more areas, along with Hartford. St. Lawrence, Town of Herman and Erin. We want to promote and preserve the uniquely rich history of Hartford and its surrounding communities."

Schnorenberg said Museum 53027 has a lease for permanent space at 57 N. Main Street, in downtown Hartford. It became official on March 1.

They are hoping to have it open by the end of March.

The museum planning team is looking for anything and everything to do with people, families and businesses within the 53027 zip code area to display in the new museum. They are also in need of wood picture frames, plastic bins, plate holders and mirror clips.

Museum 53027 is run entirely by volunteers and self-funded.
