These funds will be used to pay for Museum exhibits, education programs, and cultural events that could not have been accomplished otherwise.

Chris Caron, Friends’ President said,”We were fortunate to have received a generous donation to help establish this fund. Since 1985, the Friends have provided significant funding to the Museum to support the current richness of the Museum’s changing exhibits and public programs. This endowment will allow us to enhance and stabilize our financial support to help the Museum maintain its level of excellence now and in the future. ”
