      Hennepin History Museum Wish List
  • Please help us to meet our organizational goals by contributing to HHM through in kind donations. We have three levels on our wish list in order that you may choose the items that best meet your donating abilities.

 

 Gold Level
*Those who contribute at this level will receive lunch with the Executive Director, Curator and Archivist, and a behind the scenes museum tour. 
 
Sponsor HHM Advertising: Help boost our public profile by contributing creative advertising ideas. Please contribute to this effort by sponsoring a "You Are Here" site, bus shelter advertisment, magazine ad, or article in an area newspaper.
 
Vehicle: We are desperately in need of a replacement HHM utility vehicle (preferably with substantial cargo capacity).  This is used to carry exhibits to off-site locations, pick up newly acquired collections, and transport staff and supplies to community events. Our previous car was a 1995 Chevrolet Astro.  If you have a vehicle you think may work for us, please contact us!  We are open to opportunities to advertise your logo.
 
Collections Conservation: We have hundreds of items in our collections from historic diaries to 19th Century wedding gowns, and from Civil War muskets to rare paintings. Many of these artifacts are in need of conservation work, which is a costly expense; can you help us to afford the restoration of some of our collections?
 
 
 Portrait of Mary Bridgeman, c. 1880
 
 
Silver Level
*Those who contribute at this level will receive either a lunch with the Curator or a behind the scenes tour.
 
Sponsor a Speaker for a Fireside Chat: In order for us to bring in speakers that are of interest to the community, we sometimes need to offer them an honorarium ranging from 50 to 100 dollars.
 
Computer Programs: Help us to update our aged resources by donating the latest Microsoft Office suite, Windows 2007.

Old City Directories:  Our archivist is always looking for City Directories, ideally pre-1930.  Please let us know what you have!
 
Bronze Level
*Those who contribute at this level will receive a behind the scenes tour.
 
Office Supplies: In order to keep our members up to date on everything going on in the HHM community, we go through a lot of office supplies. Help us to defray costs by contributing reams of paper, ink cartridges, stamps, and file folders.
