The General Henry Knox Museum is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization which relies on the generosity of its supporters to survive. Membership dues, tour admissions, and ticket and gift shop sales do not cover the costs needed to operate the Museum. Each year we look to donations to help us keep the story of Henry Knox alive.
Supporters may donate any amount in unrestricted funds, allowing Knox Museum to pay its bills and keep the doors open so that we may continue to offer quality education, preservation, military, and community programming throughout the year.
Knox Museum is now partnered with Amazon Smile, a service run by Amazon where a small portion of purchases is donated to a selected charity. Click here and select “Friends of Montpelier” and shop at smile.amazon.com to begin supporting the Museum.

Consider becoming part of the Knox Museum Signature Society if wanting to donate more than $1000.
We depend on our volunteers! During the summer they do everything from greet visitors at the door and provide orientations and guided tours, to ring up purchases at the Museum Gift Shop.
Behind the scenes, volunteers assist us year round with planning, implementing and publicizing our programs, overseeing our collections, raising funds, soliciting memberships, providing educational materials and tours to area school children, stocking the Museum Gift Shop, maintaining our web pages and the myriad of other tasks necessary to keep the museum operating smoothly.
