Do you have an item that fits the Museum's mission statement that you feel would be of value to have in our collection? Please call or stop in and see us at the Museum.
There is a form for you to fill out giving us temporary custody of your item after which the item will go before our Collection's Committee and our Board of Trustees. If we feel it fits our mission and we are able to properly store and care for the item, we will have you fill out a Deed of Gift. Please make sure you have the time to fill out paperwork.
*Note: Due to space and coverage, we are not accepting any World War II dress uniforms at this time into the collection.
Do you have an interest in historical research, collections management, educational programming, or something else? There are many different volunteer and internship job openings at the museum. We are very flexible as to when and how often you can come in. If you can donate your time for events only, maybe once a month, or can come every week, we will work with you to find the right job.
We currently could use someone with carpentry skills for making basic slotted storage shelving!
Stop in and see our Director, Anna, or feel free to get in touch with us using the Contact Form. We look forward to hearing from you!
