Start a museum based in sustainable agriculture & alternative energyClaire Schuler

It is my goal to start a renaissance theme living history museum - a working, historically accurate, sustainable village, Gryffinshyre. The artisans will act as interpreters of their work, giving demonstrations, answering questions, and representing the Elizabethan period.  There will be vendors that will sell wares, as well as countless program opportunities: camps, retreats, classes, special events, outreach, lecturers, seminars, consortiums. A portion of the cleared land will be for agricultural usage.  The land will use alternative energy sources to power buildings on the property and offer classes and opportunities to educate about these sources. The Museum’s unusual goals make for unusual descriptions of start up cost and post opening expenses and revenues.  The capital from investors will go toward the preparation period. During the post-opening period we will be secure enough to rely on our revenues to stay stable.
