Grant and Harold began the first phase of transforming the unfinished building into a display area by installing insulation and paneling and adding an air conditioning unit. John Hendricks and Jan Johannes adding the interior shelves and moulding and built the access ramp. Special thanks to Rayonier and Brandies Ace Hardware for their assistance in obtaining the materials.
Aided by his brother, Richard, co-founder Johannes worked his magic by producing a permanent top-notch turpentine display for the building that was opened to the public during our 2015 Railroad Day Festival.
