Millthorpe Museum have started a GoFundMe page to raise money for their Pea Viner restoration project. If you would like to support the Museum and the great work the volunteers do, then please donate today.
Fundraiser by Hayley Lavers : Edgell’s Pea Viner Restoration
The Pea Viner was one of the last viners from Edgells in Bathurst and was donated to Milthorpe Museum by Greg Richards of Simplot (who purchased Edgells). The viner was scheduled to be scrapped but a change visit to the museum saw it donated in 2008. Unfortunately, the Pea Viner had wood borer and wood rot in the timbers, so emergency works had to be started to stop it spreading to the rest of our large collection.
The museum are now fundraising to have funds to replace timbers, purchase chemical for borer treatment and paint for restoration.
The Millthorpe Museum (Millthorpe & District Historical Society) is a registered charity, and all donations are tax deductible. Works are to be undertaken by our Projects and Maintenance Group (similar to Mens Shed).
