Thanks to ALL who donated during GiveMethow in October!
With your gifts, the museum will create family-friendly activities. It's never been so important to learn from our past and connect across generations.
Gifts are gratefully accepted all year. Please visit our Donate page to give online, or mail a check.
Autumn at the Shafer Museum
The museum is preparing for winter. The buildings are closed but the grounds & outdoor displays are open. "Take a Peek Inside" through the windows and special signage on the buildings.
Please follow outdoor Covid-19 precautions.
The path between Riverside & Castle Avenues is open. Ice will close the path - use at your own risk.
Shafer Historical Museum is staffed by volunteers, most of whom are in high-risk groups for COVID complications. Masks and appropriate social distancing will be required during visits and tour to protect everyone. Thank you for your consideration and your patience!
