- Baumann Auto Group Genoa (Formerly Genoa Ford): Sales Consultant John Wronkowicz and General Manager Jeff Brown along with Concepts and Clouse Construction arranged for the TLE&W Railway and Museum to participate during Phase-1 on the demolition of the Ford Dealership in Genoa to make way for their new facility. By allowing the removal of reusable fixtures and building supplies, this generous donation will save us thousands of dollars during future projects at the TLE&W Railway and Museum. Special thanks go to (Waterville Resident and Bluebird Supporter) John Wronkowicz who kept the project alive for the Museum. If you are looking for a new or used car contact John at: jwronkowicz@baumannautogroup.com to let him know you appreciate what he did for our museum.
