Congratulations to the museum in Cupar
on it's upcoming 20th anniversary June 3. It is difficult
to believe how the time has passed. In actuality it took 5 years of
hard work, planning and fund raising for the museum volunteers before
the official grand opening in 1995. The success of the various fund
raising activities could not have happened without the support of the
wider community. The Masonic Hall was moved on site and the Town
Council gave the old curling rink to the museum. Besides the many
hours volunteers spent salvaging materials and gathering artifacts,
much appreciated financial assistance was provided by the Cupar
Lions Club, The Hungarian Dance Club and The Cupar Historical
Society. The museum in 1994 was also able to have a full time
employee for 21 weeks through New Careers Corps to assist with final
preparations.

As we collect information and
documentation on various organizations in our towns it is important
we do not forget about the development of our own museums.
