SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (KEYT) – The San Luis Obispo Veterans’ Memorial Museum is asking for the community’s help.
Following their Veterans Day ceremony to honor those who’ve served, the museum is temporarily closing for a county-wide air conditioning project.
City and county leaders joined the family and friends of veterans from every branch of the US armed forces Wednesday morning, braving warm temperatures to honor their service.
Following the ceremony, the SLO Veterans Memorial Museum is preparing for a temporary closure while the county improves air conditioning systems in several public facilities.
The artifacts displayed in the museum must be moved out of the building and temporarily stored while the work is conducted.
Many exhibits contain uniforms, tools, and weapons that were worn, held, and used by soldiers in active combat throughout history.
To offset the cost of carefully moving, storing and preserving, then ultimately returning the items, a museum volunteer has started a GoFundMe.
Volunteers say proceeds from the GoFundMe will be prioritized for some of the most delicate items that now make their home at the museum.
