BROWNSBURG MUSEUM
EIN 92-2718528 · History Museums (A54)
What they do
WE FIRST OPENED OUR DOORS IN 2010, and OUR EXHIBITS CHANGE EVERY THREE to FOUR YEARS. WEVE COVERED EVERYTHING FROM MILLING, to COUNTRY STORES, to SLAVERY IN THE AREA. THATS NO EASY TASK for A SMALL MUSEUM RUN BY VOLUNTEERS. BUT WE DO IT BECAUSE WE BELEIVE THAT SMALL LOCAL MUSEUMS ARE CRITICAL to KEEPING THE COMMUNITYS HISTORY ALIVE and BENEFIT THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE and THOSE WHO VISIT. BIG THINGS DO COME IN SMALL PACKAGES. THE BROWNSBURG MUSEUM is A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION. WE ARE ALL VOLUNTEERS and RELY ON GENEROUS DONATIONS FROM THE COMMUNITY and VISITORS to KEEP OUR DOORS OPEN and OUR ADMISSION FREE. COME VISIT. THE VALLEY is BEAUTIFUL, and THIS PLACE is A STEP BACK IN TIME and A DELIGHTFUL JOURNEY OFF THE BEATEN PATH.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
