Dear William, You may want to contact the Orchard House Museum in Concord, MA. They have rehabilitated a small late-19th century schoolhouse which they now use to host events and programs throughout the year.

I've read "Starting Right," which gave me some very good pointers, but I thought I would ask the museum community at large about feasibility studies and the possibilty of adaptive reuse. Have any of you helped on the ground level of museum creation and dealt with these issues? What was the best avenue for you, and if you did a feasibility study, how long did it take you to complete it?
