It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

New England Civil War Museum Wants YOUR MONEY so It can Take CT Soldiers Uniform Home

It's a couple rooms in a small town hall that was originally built by Civil War vets. The value of that building alone is enough for the town to keep up the museum until they need a new one.

And even if it wasn't you're really too cheap for a town hall museum?

Museums can have endowments, donor lists, grants, patrons. Were the museum talking about how much they’ve raised and are now turning to the public at large, I can see people opting in if they are civil war buffs. My money to spend. Cheap? Not my monkey, not my zoo.

You live in the country they secured and enjoy rights they fought for and added to our Constitution. Go spit on their graves while you're at it.

That would be highly disrespectful.
