Contribute
We keep our admissions price very low to encourage more visitors to experience our exhibits and learn about our mission and history. However, admissions income does not cover our increasing costs to operate. Please consider one of the following opportunities for investment in the Museum’s future or join us and become a member:
Donations
Donations may be made online or by sending a check to our office.
Honoring and Memory Gifts
A way to support the mission of the Museum is to recognize birthdays, anniversaries, or other memorable occasions by donating cash, securities or baskets in honor of someone special. Memorial gifts in lieu of flowers are a meaningful way to honor a loved one. Please contact our office for details.
Quarterboards
Antique ivory quarterboards with the scrimshawed name of a loved one (or yourself) are placed on permanent display in our Ivory Circle and Lightship Circle for contributions of $10,000 and $25,000 respectively. Please consider membership at this level.
