The Museum participates in two kinds of partnerships:

1. We collaborate on projects by offering our time, expertise and historical resources to benefit other community organizations; and

2. Individuals, groups and businesses work with the Museum without charging for their services allowing the Museum to accomplish far more than our revenues would normally allow.
