It seems that about every 20 years, the museum has outgrown its facilities and finds itself in desperate need of expansion. Because the museum building is land-locked, expansion of Harmon Hall was not an option. So in 1998, the historical society purchased the former Lebanon Post Office next door to Harmon Hall. It will provide the needed space in which to continue the tradition of presenting, preserving and storing one of the finest county museum archival and three-dimensional collections in the United States. Renovation began soon thereafter. In 2009 the main room of thePost Office was upgraded with new windows, drapes, new counterwork, a kitchen was installed, additional overhead lighting was installed, the floor was refinished and the room was repainted.
