Make a Contribution

 

In April 2022, we launched a year-long campaign to raise $125,000 to celebrate our 125th anniversary. Because of the generosity of many members, supporters, and the Lynn community, we surpassed our goal during the Anniversary Celebration & Fundraiser on May 3, 2023!

 

We are thankful to our anniversary campaign sponsors, event sponsors, donors, and those of you who have attended our special anniversary events over the past year!

 

THANK YOU for helping us achieve our goal, ensuring we can continue preserving Lynn’s incredible past and promoting its vibrant future for another 125 years.

 

For more information about making a financial contribution to the Lynn Museum/LynnArts, don’t hesitate to contact us at 781-581-6200. Online donations and sponsorships are also available.

We have partnered with the Phillips Library of the Peabody Essex Museum to temporarily house and catalog our archival collection, which is currently on deposit with the Phillips Library and searchable in their PhilCat Catalogue. Please visit the Phillips Library website for open hours and accessibility details and to search for Lynn Historical Society archival holdings on the online database PhilCat.

 

The Lynn Museum relies on generous donations of funds, Lynn-related objects, and archives to strengthen its collection. However, like many museums and historical societies, we have limited space to store new collection donations.

 

If you want to donate objects to our collection, please share any images, object descriptions, and provenance to collections@lynnmuseum.org.
