When you make a financial contribution to the American Independence Museum, you support our mission AND our values of inclusiveness, discovery, and innovation, captured in our organizational theme, We Are One.
Thank you for believing in the American Independence Museum’s mission to preserve history, inspire learning, and foster community. Your support has sustained AIM as a place where all are welcome to honor our revolutionary heritage and engage in the ongoing work of democracy.
In 2024, we’ve expanded accessibility with new digital-assistance technology and celebrated history through vibrant community events, including the annual American Independence Festival. However, as stewards of the centuries-old Ladd-Gilman House and Folsom Tavern, we face critical preservation needs to ensure these landmarks endure for future generations.
With a goal of raising $100,000, your contribution will directly support this vital work and position AIM as a statewide leader as we prepare for America’s 250th anniversary. Together, we can safeguard our nation’s history and inspire a brighter, more inclusive future.
