Permanent Collection News: exciting changes concerning our permanent collection 

The MA Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) has decided to permanently close its Gardner Heritage State Park Visitor Center at 26 Lake St. They opened this facility that interpreted the history of the City of Gardner 30 years ago, in 1986, but it has been closed, except for 2 summer seasons, since about 2001. The DCR Commissioner has been working with Mayor Hawke and with the Gardner Montachusett Veterans Outreach Center, Inc. to reuse and occupy the building (a converted 1884 fire station). As part of this process, DCR had to empty the building of its exhibited contents and The Gardner Museum agreed to take ownership of all artifacts and exhibit items. After the transport we will accession all items and incorporate them into our permanent collection, making everything accessible to the public. Some will be on display right away, some will be incorporated in our changing displays. Several items will be temporarily displayed in the mayor’s office and the Chamber of Commerce office. At the museum, we will be able to display even more historic chairs, which are a collecting strength of the Gardner Museum, and one that sets it apart from all but a handful of other historic museums in the U.S.
