El Arish History Station Museum

The little heritage group that maintain the small museum in the old railway station building at El Arish have been very busy lately.  The group's president, Marie Carman has just reported that they have finally received news that they have received a grant for about $24,000 for the Department of Veterans Affairs centenary.  They intend having a portrait and biography of each of the Generals that have streets named after them in El Arish posted on signs about the town.  The external anodized signage will match their existing signs.  Another project they are working on will see an addition to the station museum with the installation of the town's old police lock-up building.  This will give them another toilet and some badly needed storage or display room.
