Support
Each year, the Museum must raise funds to restore and maintain its 1832 landmark building; conserve the original collections of furniture, decorative arts, and textiles; and host public education programs for adults and schoolchildren.
Tax-deductible cash and stock gifts, large and small, from individuals, foundations, and small businesses really do make a difference. We’d be honored to add you to our list of supporters.
