Funding: Primary funding for the museum continues to be admission fees, donations, and support from the museum directors. Recognition by IRS as a 501© 3 tax exempt organization is pending. Once that recognition is received we anticipate increased financial support from individuals and the business community. Museum memberships are available to individuals or business organizations at the following levels. One year membership $10.00, Three year membership $20.00, and Life Time membership $ 100,00. Donations in excess of these membership levels are appreciated. Artifact donation: In addition to monetary donations we ask that individuals or families who may have military uniforms, artifacts, weapons, and related items consider donating the items to the museum. Since opening in 2005 we have received numerous donations, which are now part of museum exhibits. Before throwing away the WW ll items found in an attic or garage give us a call. We will see they are preserved and ultimately displayed as a part of Museum exhibits. A flagstaff family recently donated a complete WW I Army and Navy uniform, two 48 star American Flags, and an M-1 carbine carrying case, flash suppressor, and attachments. Other donations include two original WW I gas mask bags signed by the soldier along with a listing of the each soldiers major campaigns, a frontier colt revolver carried by officers and non commissioned officers during the 1860’s and other valuable and unique items Volunteer Staff: Have some time on your hands and an interest in preserving military history? The museum badly needs additional volunteer staff. Hours are flexible and can be adjusted to fit your schedule. The museum currently has staff sufficient to open only on weekends and occasional half days during the week. We would like to have staff sufficient to open seven days a week. Special Events: We are always looking for owners of Military Vehicles, uniforms and weapons interested in displaying their items during museum events. Should you have an interest in assisting with special displays please contact us email Did you know that 100% of Fort Tuthill Military Museum's funding is from donations?
