L. Goulet exhibits and preserves the Museum's collection of 8000 objects. She joined the Museum in 2019 because she is passionate about public and scholarly access to museum collections. Her research investigates history through the material and visual cultures of art and science.
L. previously worked at the Climate Museum and the Richard Avedon Foundation. She holds a BA in Honours Visual Arts from Brock University and a MA in Museum Studies from New York University. In her free time, L. is an avid home cook and cyclist.

Melissa Lauer oversees the Museum's education and public programs, visitor services, and indispensable volunteers. She cares deeply about the stories that people, places, and objects hold, and this passion underlies her experience in an array of arts and education nonprofits including the Iowa Youth Writing Project, Living History Farms, and Save Ellis Island. She holds BAs in Studio Art and English & Creative Writing from the University of Iowa and an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from New York University. She also pursues her personal fascinations with abandoned buildings, knitting, urban wildlife, and nonfiction writing. Her mission to connect people to the human side of history is an ongoing dedication. 

Eric Sussman maintains the infrastructure of the Museum and the five-building complex that it occupies. While he dabbles in poetry and worked for a time as a journalist, his greatest pleasure is fixing and building things; from fine carpentry and found object art, to apartment and home renovation. He holds a BA in American Literature and Creative Writing from the University of Massachusetts and a MA in Journalism from New York University. Eric is fascinated by early settler craftsmanship and tools and is thrilled to apply his repair and construction skills to the Museum in an effort to enhance the visitor experience.
