Afton Historical Museum

Help Us Reach Our Fundraising Goal of $10,000!

Every Gift Counts!

Will you help the Afton Museum reach its fundraising goal for its annual operating costs?

In addition to safely housing an outstanding collection of over 10,000 items, the Afton Museum offers beloved holiday events and presentations on local and state history, educational topics, local artists and writers. 

Museum board members and volunteers participate in annual fundraising activities to raise money for monthly expenses, but we still rely on generous donors to help keep our doors open. 

Can you help us reach our goal of $10,000?

THANK YOU for your continued support. We could not do it without you! 

Afton Historical Museum

Discover Your History: The museum has an outstanding collection of historic documents, including Afton's original plat map created in the early 1850s, diaries & letters from early residents, historic business ledgers, burial information, photographs, and property and family histories. Artifacts include historic farming implements, civil war memorabilia and Afton's first post office counter. Notable displays like "Wedding Dresses Through the Ages" have garnered rave reviews. 

Its All About Connections: Whether it's researching a property history or showing historic spooky movies for the annual Halloween celebration, the Afton Museum is a place where people connect and discover.  Our popular events attract visitors who return year after year and there is something for every age. 

The Museum is located within the former Congregational church, built in 1868, in the historic Village of Afton. Since opening our doors in 1985, over 10,000 historic items have been protected and the museum has become a gathering spot for visitors young and old. Donations are the primary source of funding for operating the museum. 

THANK YOU for your kind consideration and we hope to see you at the museum soon! For more information follow us on Facebook or visit our website.
