"There is a lot of gratification in finally getting this project to the point at which we're able to go forward with it, because we have gone through a lot of 'one step forward and two steps back' situations in the past with regard to the development of the museum," Edgington said. "It does seem we're on the forward track, and it's not only for me personally but it is for a considerable number of people." Edgington said the diligence of volunteers helped get the project off the ground and that grants and donations helped take it from a dream to a reality.
