Summary
The August 1970 Beaver Beacon reported a busy Historical Society museum season, new artwork depicting Irish emigrants, a need for volunteer help, and enough funds raised for a new roof on the Protar House.
Evidence and limits
The report preserves the Society’s appeal and its stated preservation progress; it does not provide a complete visitor count, budget, or construction record.
