​As a non-profit serving this community, we rely on donations from individuals and businesses, and grants from foundations and public agencies. We invite you to partner with us to ensure that the MBTS Museum remains a vital, forward-looking institution —preserving our past while serving our community for generations to come.

To continue our mission and build a strong future for the Museum, we plan to  

• Preserve the town’s historic home and collections— care for the Abigail Hooper Trask House while renovating additional exhibit spaces to better welcome and inspire visitors.

• Safeguard and expand access to our archives — digitize and preserve historical records so they are available for your research.

• Bring Manchester’s stories to life — continue to present dynamic programs like the Spring and Fall Speaker Series and enriching Children’s Programs throughout the year. Programs to educate, engage, and inspire you.

• Strengthen the Museum’s endowment — build a reliable source of annual income to support staffing and ensure the Museum’s long-term stability and success.
