Gift the museum something from our wish list
We could just ask for donations, but we believe a wish list is more straightforward. It gives people a sense of the ongoing expense of operating a museum and shows donors how their money would be spent. The list will be kept current. Please check back often to see if there is an item you would like to sponsor for yourself or in memory/honor of someone else. If you would like us to send a card to the person you are honoring with the gift, please let us know.
Some items on the list are actual physical items we need. Please contact the museum before purchasing such items, in case we have already received them.

If you have an artifact you would like to gift to the museum, please call or send an email to let us know. Our collections committee meets regularly to consider new acquisitions. Due to financial and space restrictions, we cannot accept every offer for the museum's collection. We will post more details on the museum's acquisition policy soon.
