How Can I Help?

There are many ways you can help the museum. Contrary to popular belief, the Museum is NOT owned by the city of Danbury. We do get a grant from the city but nearly 85% of our operating budget comes from other sources including membership fees, donations and fundraisers. The Danbury Museum & Historical Society is a 501c3 non-profit so all donations are fully tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

• The best way to get started is by Becoming a Member.
• Help the museum with the storage of it's collection by Adopting  a Box.
• Does one of our historic buildings have particular interest to you? Consider a donation specifically for that building:
  • Marian Anderson Studio
  • Dodd Hat Shop
  • Charles Ives Birthplace
  • John Rider House
  • Huntington Hall
• If you are an SBC/SNET customer you can help the museum by signing up for the SBC Community Connections
• Yankee Magazine
• Patronize our Gift Shop on our Main Street site.
• Patronize our on-line store for Charles Ives and Danbury Museum items.
• Donating office supplies. Call the museum to see what is needed.
