Strong Marine Volunteers Needed at Heritage Park Village Museum Heritage Park Village Museum is nearly finished renovating the historic buildings that offer visitors the opportunity to ldquostep back in timerdquo and glimpse Oceanside at its incorporation in 1888 Marines were among the volunteers that worked to bring this Park into existence during our countryrsquos bicentennial celebration in 1976 The Park is made up of representative and historic buildings including the original Oceanside Jail formerly used for its holding cells by the Camp Pendleton military police The museum furnishings and artifacts were removed from many of the buildings and put into storage to enable renovations and remodeling Now that they have completed some of this work they need to return the furnishings to the buildings They are in need of 4-6 strong Marines to lift and move some large and heavy glass display cases from storage in the Livery Stable to their respective buildings onsite It will probably not take more than four hours of work the day and time is flexible however they need help as soon as possible
