American Museum of Magic

Your gift to the American Museum of Magic will now be matched! An anonymous donor has agreed to match new gifts, dollar for dollar, through October 31.

“During the early years of my career as a teacher librarian, I experienced the magical connection intrinsic to a good story, well shared.” – Board member Marsha Lambert

From Camp Abracadabra to Reading Month field trips for every Marshall third grader, the museum shares magic’s stories with the next generation. It costs about $50 a day to keep our two historic buildings open; matched, your $50 covers two. Give today: square.link/u/h7HjvAzB (also linked in our Instagram bio).
