• Acquire period artifacts that enrich our galleries
• Support innovative exhibitions that make our museums truly one of a kind
• Sustain the five outdoor living-history areas
• Provide resources for our maritime education program

Our vision is to foster an environment of discovery — one that challenges all people to embrace the ideals and complexities of early American history. Our award winning programs rely on the generous support of donors like you.
