Revolution Society

The Revolution Society was established in 2015, years before the Museum opened, to ensure a strong foundation of sustaining annual support for our cause. Since then, a dynamic community of donors and friends have joined our pursuit of ambitious goals. Making gifts of $1,000 - $4,999 each year, these dedicated members enable the Museum to care for our world-class collection and offer educational programs to engage every generation. In appreciation for their generous investment, we invite them to enjoy curated experiences with Museum experts, leading authors, and historians.
