EAST MEREDITH — Thank you all for your overwhelming expression of support in response to the news of recent federal funding cuts. We are very grateful to have heard from so many of you!
The most immediate impact of our Institute of Museum and Library Services grant terminations is the loss of $34,187 that was allocated to cover staff salaries in 2025. This amount equates to approximately 8% of the museum's total budget for the year.
For those of you looking to support Hanford Mills while we assess our options for moving forward, you can:
Donate to the museum at https://www.hanfordmills.org/.../support-our.../donate/
Join us for our volunteer cleanup day on Saturday, May 3 (please RSVP to lizb@hanfordmills.org).
Contact your legislators
Share stories of your experiences at the mill with us
All of your support helps HMM to cover this shortfall and prepare to open on May 15. We are dedicated to preserving the site and fulfilling our mission. Our 2025 season is moving forward as planned. You can find our calendar of events and workshops here: https://www.hanfordmills.org/events/
We look forward to seeing you this season!
