❤️ Support the Boonsborough Museum of History

We’re a small nonprofit with a very small volunteer team and an extremely limited budget, but our commitment to preserving local history is anything but small.

Our museum continues to uncover and care for important historical artifacts and stories that deserve to be preserved for future generations. At the same time, we are working toward preparing our large annex building so it can become additional museum and event space for our community.

Every fundraiser, merchandise sale, and donation helps us move those goals forward.

We know that design preferences are personal, and our merchandise may not be everyone’s style. Our focus, however, is on what these items can help us accomplish: raising funds to preserve history, care for artifacts, and build a stronger future for our museum.

If you’ve supported us by purchasing merchandise, entering a raffle, donating, volunteering, or simply sharing our posts, thank you. Every bit of support makes a difference when you’re a small organization working with a big mission.
