Donate to the Museum Expansion Fund
Since 1956, the 82nd Airborne Division Historical Society has “Honored The Past, Preserve The Future” for the Next Generation of Americans by raising funds to pay for museum expansion projects. Every brick of the Museum has been paid for by the Historical Society. For six decades we have completed that mission enabling Museum Staff to tell the All-American Story of 100+ years of service and sacrifice in peacetime engagement, conflict, and war from World War I to the Global War on Terror. Today, there is no additional space to tell the next chapter of the All-American Story. We need your help to expand the exhibit space by 30%, this will enable Museum Staff to create an interactive, educational, learning environment. The cost of the expansion is $1.4M. We have raised $700K. We need your financial support to narrow the funding gap. Access the QR code and donate today. Your financial contribution will have meaning and value going to a worthy cause, “Remembering The Sacrifice”.
Note: The Army does not fund museum capital projects. This work only happens through public / private donors, donations, and grants from people like you.
If you have any questions regarding financial donations, the Gift Shop, or memberships, please call Mrs. Shantay McQueen, Gift Shop Manager, at 910-436-1735.
