The Elevator Museum is a museum and non-profit 501(c)(3) organization in Massachusetts, United States.[1][2]
History
editIn 2011, The Elevator Historical Society opened in a small space in Long Island City, New York. With an exhibit of elevator parts and paraphernalia but due to a lack of funding it closed in 2016.[3] The exhibit items were relocated to a temporary location at The International Union of Elevator Constructors Local 4 Union Hall in 2017, and combined with an extensive collection of artifacts by Stephen K. Comley and his father James F. Comley.[4]
The Comleys funded a move to the Haverhill location, then assembled a board of advisors and directors, and in 2019 received non-profit status for The Elevator Museum.[5]
