Herreshoff Marine Museum is pleased to announce that it has successfully met the previously announced $100,000 Challenge offered by an anonymous donor. The campaign raised $172,000 for the Museum. A principal target was to engage new and re-engage former donor groups.
Over 400 people contributed, of whom approximately one third were new donors to the museum or had not donated since 2010. The matching funds will be used to further the education mission of the Museum. Thank you to all of you who made this major achievement possible.
The Herreshoff Marine Museum / America's Cup Hall of Fame is dedicated to the education and inspiration of the public through presentations of the history and innovative work of the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company and the America's Cup competition. If you have any questions or comments, please contact the Museum at 401-253-5000.
