Before 2023 comes to a close, Dalnavert is launching one more project. The museum is looking to upgrade the Visitors’ Centre by installing gates by two fire exits. These will help to preserve these areas from external damage.

We need $4885 to complete this project. Please consider donating to help the museum achieve this goal.

Donate by December 31, 2023 to get a 2023 tax receipt.
