We Need Your Help!
- Help with museum formation, participate in the planning process.
- Help with research and gather stories from your family.
- Collect artifacts particularly related to the unique culture of Italian life – the antique tools of the various trades, samplings of the crafts of emigrants, and the richness of traditions brought over from Italy are a few examples that, with a collection of family tales, can help bring history to life in an exhibit.
- Artifact donations and gifts may qualify as tax deductible contributions consistent with the provisions of IRS code section 501c3
