Your Generosity Makes History Possible
Be Part of the Story. Build the Museum.
History is more than what we remember. It is what we choose to preserve for generations to come.
The Huntington African American Museum will bring African American history to life, beginning with the stories of Huntington and connecting them to the people, movements, and defining moments that have shaped New York State and the nation.
Your generosity will help make this vision a reality. Every gift supports the preservation of historical collections, the development of exhibitions and educational programs, community engagement, and the creation of a permanent home where these histories can be discovered and shared for generations.
Whether through a one-time gift or sustained giving, your support today will help establish a lasting cultural institution.
Make your gift today. Be part of history in the making.
The easiest way to support the museum is to make a secure online gift. Your contribution helps advance exhibitions, educational programs, and the development of the museum.
