The Museum is a private 501(3)c non-profit and we rely on museum fundraising and the support of our members and donors for our operations. We also have received grants from the 1% Board, Johnson County Recreation District, The Johnson County Tourism Board, and other grant programs for specific grant projects. We appreciate such support and would not be able to keep our doors open without it.
