An effort is underway to secure a place for a small western Massachusetts town to preserve its history.
The Wendell Historical Society is fundraising with a goal to purchase a century-old building that once housed a general store and post office and turn it into a museum of the local history of the eastern Franklin County town.
Just to purchase the property, the society needs to raise $45,000 by the middle of June.
WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Edward Hines, the president of the Wendell Historical Society.
