Ways You Can Support the Museum
Become a Donor
Donations go a long way to help maintain the house, barn, and grounds. As a historic property, our list of projects remains endless. Any and all donations help and we are incredibly thankful for your support!
Volunteer
We are always in need of volunteers to keep our organization running. If you're interested in volunteering, please feel free to e-mail us at info@shelton-house.org.
Become a Patron
Patrons enjoy special benefits, including having your name listed on our website, special opportunities, and more. We have a patron tier for all budgets.
Fund-a-Need
Through our Fund-a-Need program, donors now have the opportunity to directly support specific items and projects that enhance the museum and visitor experience but are not included in our annual operating budget. From exhibit improvements and educational materials to grounds enhancements and collection care, Fund-a-Need allows supporters to see the direct impact of their generosity on the future of the museum.
Donors are not required to purchase the full number of requested items for a specific need.
Email info@shelton-house.org for questions regarding fund-a-need.
