Share the Spirit of the Season—Support the Museum

This year, your support helped us welcome visitors, educate students, and share new exhibits that bring Appalachian history to life.

As we look ahead, we’re focusing on restoring the Museum’s historic Cantilever Barn—a remarkable structure in need of significant repair. A year-end gift ensures this piece of Appalachian heritage endures for future generations. Thank you for helping us preserve the stories that matter.
