Annual Fund

Your donation to the Annual Fund plays a vital role in showcasing our nation’s history at Jamestown Settlement and the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown, including:

• Deliver education programming that expands the borders of the classroom
• Acquire period artifacts for galleries
• Support the exhibitions that make our museums one of a kind
• Sustain the five outdoor living-history areas
• Provide resources for our maritime education program

Our vision is to foster an environment of discovery that challenges all people to embrace the ideals – and consequences – of early American history. Our award-winning programs depend on generous contributions to our Annual Fund.
