2020 Annual Appeal
The Knox Museum has been hard at work preparing to reopen to our public. Our board of trustees has been working overtime to manage the daily operations while planning for the future of the museum. This year, we have so much to inform our members and patrons of that our annual appeal comes in the form of a newsletter, providing an overview of the past year’s activities as well as a preview of what you can look forward to throughout the coming year.
Make a Donation
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.
Gifts of $1000 or more provide for membership in our Signature Society. Details and membership benefits are below.
Thank you for your support!
If you are interested in Business and Corporate Sponsorship or providing for the Knox Museum through estate planning, please call the museum at : 207-354-8062 for more information.

Volunteer

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.
