Annual Fund
Join Us in Preserving the Legacy of the Robbins Hunter Museum
Your gift to the Annual Fund sustains the momentum of a year marked by meaningful progress and strong community support. In 2025, essential projects like the roof replacement and sewer line overhaul strengthened the long-term stability of the historic Avery Downer House. Yet much important work remains, from restoring the front columns and porch foundation to preserving the museum for future generations. Your generosity fuels this ongoing preservation and supports the programs, partnerships, and educational experiences that bring the museum’s mission to life.
