Placeholder Image
ALBANY - The annual meeting of the board of directors of the Gap Church Museum, Inc. and Cemetery Association was held recently and the board set the details for three fundraisers to help cover the costs of repairs needed.

The seventh annual rummage sale will be from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. June 18. It will be held inside the community hall so rain will not be a factor. Donations of items are appreciated and are tax deductible. Some restrictions will apply and no electronics or clothing will be accepted. Pick-up of donated items can be arranged. An open house will be held in conjunction with this event.

The third annual Gap Church Bash will be July 16 at the church. The Vendor Show will be from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. with a cemetery walk from 10 a.m. to noon. A food stand will be operating from 10 a.m. until close.

The annual Gap Church Museum, Inc. Hymn Sing and Open House will be from 2 to 4 p.m. Aug. 21. Some of the documents available for viewing at the open house will be copies of the original membership list 1850 to 1969, church records beginning in 1850, minutes of the Soldiers Aid Society that began in 1862 and more. Information about the cemetery also will be available. Refreshments will be served.

The church and cemetery are located four miles west of Albany on Wisconsin 59.
