Everyone who donates $1 can vote on a name for the 19th-century skeleton located in the lobby of the Lancaster Medical Heritage Museum.
LANCASTER, Pa. — Just in time for Halloween, a Lancaster County museum is holding a “Name Our Skeleton” contest.
The contest is part of a fundraising effort for the Lancaster Medical Heritage Museum, which was formerly on Lime Street in the city, but is in the process of moving to a new location at Burle Business Park, 1004 New Holland Ave.
The 19th-century skeleton is located in the museum lobby.
The contest to rename it runs from Wednesday through Halloween.
Those who donate $1 to the museum get to vote on their favorite name out of five nominations. Each $1 donation gives the donor a chance to choose.
All donations benefit the museum, a 501(c)3 non-profit charity.
Donations are tax-deductible.
The nominations for the skeleton’s new name are:
- Apollo
- Bonaparte
- Imhotep
- Bones (for the Trek fans out there)
- Rocky
