Donating Items

If you have something you would like to donate, bring your artifact into the Museum any day that we are open. We will issue you with a receipt and the artifact will be passed on to the Collections Committee for consideration. If they determine that your item would fit our collections' policy, we will contact you in order to arrange the gift agreement and transfer of ownership. If your artifact is not added to our collection, we will contact you to return the item. Only items with proper transfer of ownership agreements can be accepted.
