Help us open our doors on the week-end and support our work throughout the year!
Please consider supporting the Afton Historical Museum with a year-end gift. Our goal is to open our doors one additional day per week and to raise funds to operate throughout the year.
To achieve these goals, we hope to raise $8,000 by December 31.
For a long time, the Afton Historical Museum has been open Wednesdays and Thursdays from 1 to 6 pm. We have heard from many people that they would like to visit the Museum, but find it a challenge to make it during the week. Our goal for 2019 is to add a week-end day from Memorial Day through Labor Day to better accommodate our visitors’ schedules and share our collections with many more people.
Operating support covers the Museum’s overhead expenses (utilities, supplies, etc.), pays for part-time staff on days the Museum is open, and helps us with our historical and holiday exhibits. Your contribution helps us meet these critical needs. With your support, we will also be able increase the hours that we are open to the public.
Would you donate $50, $100, $500, or $1,000 or more to help us reach our goal? A donation in any amount is welcome!
Being a place for Afton residents to treasure our shared history and to share it with visitors is the reason we exist. We hope you feel that the Afton Historical Museum is your museum. Thank you for your consideration of support!
