Under the work of the third president, Dr. Ron Cohen, the search for a larger location began and the Thrasher Warehouse was placed under consideration.

The completed feasibility study, along with architect's drawings, were presented to the town commission which approved the renovation project.

The front half of the building was dedicated to exhibits on the history of Micanopy and the North Central Florida area.

Historical society president Alyce Tincher made the dedication, and museum chairman Tom Brady discussed the renovation on the building.

Thrasher, Sr. moved its merchandise to the warehouse, operating his business from this location until the completion of a new brick building for the store.
