I am happy with revitalizing the area, instead of questionable empty buildings. We enjoy viewing historic events in museums from The Louvre to tiny out of the way museums.
Some think changing or erasing history is a good thing. I lost members of my family, friends to racial violence.
Walking into a local museum having conversations with curators, can sometimes bring peace and wisdom to those who seek answers.

I do not believe anyone wants to erase Wildwood's history. There will be huge costs in opening a museum. The cost of the building, renovations, expense for items to be placed in the museum, etc. There will recurring yearly expenses of maintenance and employee salaries and benefits. It would be more cost effective to erect a few statues or adhere history plaques to the buildings. Instead of expanding commissioner and staff offices, the space could be used to display historical memorabilia. Videos can be made at a one time cost eliminating the recurring annual salaries of curators. When residents walk into the government building, they can enjoy learning about Wildwood's history. A separate building that would cost millions is not necessary. Many cities use this method. Wildwood can easily learn from them.
