PROGRAM OR EXHIBIT SPONSORSHIPS
Become a sponsor specifically for an upcoming exhibit or program. Your donation will mean WHM can get world class speakers for events, or state of the art exhibit cases to house our precious artifacts for optimal viewing.
About Our Programs!
The Watertown History Museum has many diverse programs throughout the year. The pictures shown are just a small portion. Fan favorites are historical performers, Sheryl Faye and Kandi Carle!
We also offer hands-on workshops, author talks, and group tours for early learning school students to lifelong learning adults.
About Our Exhibits!
The museum’s galleries are packed with the rich history of Watertown. Each exhibit tells a different story about what makes us…us! From our military actions to business endeavors, and everything in between. There is always a story to be told through our wonderful artifacts.
Not only does the Watertown Museum use its own collection, we also use loans from the community. This year, our galleries are currently hosting our first fully loaned exhibit: Watertown Foundation: 100 Years of Service.
The putting together of all of our beautiful exhibits would not be possible without our amazing team of volunteers; from building the display cases to strategically placing each item inside.
