Join the challenge! Thanks to a generous donor, Boothbay Region Historical Society is pleased to announce a $500 Matching Gift Challenge to encourage our communities to participate in a special museum project. Each year, the trustees and staff create a wish list of much needed items that fall outside the annual budget. This year, funds raised in response to this challenge will enable the society to purchase a variety of items to help improve the museum’s permanent and rotating exhibits, as well as specialty archival storage supplies for fragile textiles, documents, maps, and photographs. Archival products are extremely expensive, but necessary to protect museum assets for the future.

The society is indebted to our challenge donor and appreciates all gifts to the fund. Please consider a donation to this project between now and July 31 payable to the Boothbay Region Historical Society Exhibit Fund, P. O. Box 272, Boothbay Harbor, ME 04538. The museum is located at 72 Oak St. in Boothbay Harbor. For more information or to donate by credit card, please contact the office at 207-633-0820 or brhs@gwi.net.

Thank you for investing in the society’s mission to preserve and make available the history of the Boothbay region.
