Amador County Museum's Livery Building Fund

For the past 5-years, the Amador County Historical Society has been raising funds to construct a new Livery Building at the Amador County Museum. The existing building that houses the Museum’s early day wagons and carriages is in poor shape and exposed to the elements, allowing the wagons, carriages and heritage artifacts to deteriorate. The new building will become an exciting new attraction at the museum, housing freight and buckboard wagons, carriages and buggies, blacksmithing tools and other historic equipment. The Historical Society has raised approximately 40% of the funds needed to construct the new building, and all donations are greatly appreciated!  Donations can be accepted on-line... look to the top of the right side of this page under "Donate to the Livery Stable Building".
