Dear Members and Friends of Dahlgren Heritage Museum,
This giving Tuesday, and through the end of the year, we hope that you will help us meet our financial goal of raising $10,000.
We are a small museum with a bigger impact than our physical size implies. Visitors who step into our limited space are impressed by how many stories are represented there...stories about mishaps elsewhere that led to the creation of the Dahlgren naval base, stories about unmanned flight in the early 20th century, stories about the development and testing of products like GPS that benefit not only our country as a whole, but us individually, and stories about individuals who were pioneers in this work.
Outside of these walls, there is an even bigger story to tell. Young children participate in our STEM activities and leave with a greater knowledge of their world and the realization that math and science are not dull, dry career fields. College students gain valuable hands-on experience in exhibit creation and collection management procedures, enhancing their portfolios as they begin their careers in the museum world.
We are so much more than our building's footprint would suggest, and that is due in part to your financial support. We hope that you will make a donation to help us continue in this important work. You can do so online at: https://www.dahlgrenmuseum.org/donate or mail a check to: Dahlgren Heritage Foundation, P. O. Box 816, Dahlgren, VA 22448
Sincerely,
Rob Gates, President
Dahlgren Heritage Foundation
