> My name is Jody Doran and I'm the president and founder of the
> Millersburg Area Historical Society. Millersburg is in northern
> Michigan about 50 miles south of the Mackinac Bridge. A small town of
> 250 people. 
> We are in the process of acquiring a railroad depot for use as a
> museum and I am completely lost as to where to go from here. Our
> society is incorporated with the state but we do not have our 501C3 as
> of yet. 
> The depot was built in 1917 and is made of concrete blocks. It is in
> fairly good condition. The slate roof has one leak that is getting
> serious. Several of the windows are gone and the original paneling
> from the office has been torn out. The station was closed over 50
> years ago and used only for storage. 
> We have set up a planning group but if you have any insight as to what
> we should do first I would appreciate any help. We want to preserve
> this building and restore it before it is lost like so many others in
> this area.
> Thank you,
