From SFGate: NH museum lays off staff, to restructure
EXETER,
N.H. (AP) — An American Revolution museum in New Hampshire is facing an
uncertain future after laying off its entire staff and cancelling its
fall programming as it works to develop a new strategic and
operational plan.
The American Independence Museum
in Exeter laid off the museum's executive director and three other
positions during its customary seasonal closure from Nov. 1 to
mid-April.
The Portsmouth Herald (http://bit.ly/RC2SOO)
reported that the museum's board of governors hopes to re-open in the
spring, but can't guarantee it given the museum's financial troubles.
Allison Field, secretary on the museum's board of governors, said the museum has been operating at a deficit for two years.
