Your support makes it possible for the Wilson Museum to cultivate and encourage human connection across place, time, and cultures. Thank you for ensuring that the museum continues to forge connections through its beautiful campus, one-of-a-kind collection, and multi-sensory and multi-generational learning experiences. People are inspired by the land and seascape around us. They are excited to explore different cultures across time and space. And they learn together as families, friends, and students, tapping senses of sight, touch, smell, and sound.

Your support will make it possible for the Wilson Museum to strengthen our current programs while creating new learning experiences for a wide range of visitors – families, children, life-long learners, locals, summer visitors, to name a few. With your support, we will be:

  • Partnering with organizations across the community to find more opportunities to connect with Wabanaki knowledge-keepers and build a deeper understanding of Indigenous history, culture, and futures in the Dawnland.

  • Developing more outdoor learning experiences that welcome people of all ages and abilities across our campus, year-round.

  • Taking big next steps towards building a new collections stewardship facility that will enable us to provide greater access, while also providing the best possible sustainable and culturally appropriate care.

  • Creating new ways to engage visitors in hands-on history and cultural learning, inspired by our Living History Days.

  • Nominating the 103-year-old Wilson Museum to the National Register of Historic Places, and tackling some really important historic preservation work on the museum building and the Perkins House.

And so much more!

Your gift makes it possible for us to spark curiosity and take folks on fascinating journeys across time and place. You can help us facilitate cross-cultural connections at the Wilson Museum that create more empathetic and engaged citizens of all ages and build a stronger community. Thank you for being a part of this very important work!
