A Night at the Museum

Tuesday, December 10

5:30-9:00 p.m.

This event is a celebration of over 100 years of our history, our community, and our Museum, and will be held at the Neville. The one-of-a-kind event will highlight the Museum’s collections and experts, and illustrate how far the Museum has come since its humble beginning in 1915 in the former Kellogg Library basement.


Funds raised from A Night at the Museum will be used to support the Neville Public Museum Foundation, which funds all exhibits and programs at the Museum. Each year the Foundation raises money to support the Museum by paying for in-house and traveling exhibits and exhibit-related expenditures, such as: marketing, artifact purchase and conservation, gallery construction and installation materials, educational gallery handouts and catalogs, audio-visual equipment, and computer hardware and software used in exhibits, exhibit-related programming, and other educational activities.


By sponsoring the 2024 A Night at the Museum, you will not only take an active role in enriching our community, you’ll also have the pleasure of attending the wonderful event we have planned featuring great food, entertainment, and other special guests.

  • Event begins at 5:30 p.m.
