A Note from Executive Director Elizabeth Karcher
Whether we are giving guided tours, creating programs for Girl Scouts or preparing for our next exhibition, we are constantly reminded of how important history is in explaining where we come, and how we got here.
We believe that to tell the full story we need many points of view, open discussion, discourse, dialogue, debate and questions. Please be part of the conversation. Join in our events and programs, bring your club or group for a tour, or visit the current exhibition. If you support what we do, please donate or sponsor a program. We need leadership and money to keep our programs available and affordable. Consider sponsoring a Free Tour or a Girl Scout badge workshop or an intern. Your donation keeps the conversation going.
