Friends of the Museum
The Museum has an Annual Giving Campaign each fall for funding the support of particular aspects of the museum. This year we are celebrating our 130th year! Click here to read the letter from the Board to our members. Donors may designate contributions for general operations, for endowment, or for specific purposes like collections care, exhibits, or museum publications. The museum is a non- profit organization with 501(c)(3) status, so this support is tax-deductible.
