When the AMHA headquarters was built in 1988, Henry and Martha duPont gave the funds to build a Museum to "Tell the Story of the Morgan Horse". And what a story it is! From the first Morgan Horse, Figure, to the most recent Grand National and World Championship Morgans, it has been a story of a breed that has met the needs of the day and given its beauty, grace and strength to people for over 200 years. YOU NEED THE MORGAN MUSEUM Everyone benefits from a strong Museum which will preserve not only the past history of our unique breed, but which will also preserve the history that is being made today. "History and History in the Making" THE MORGAN MUSEUM NEEDS YOU Our parent organization, the American Morgan Horse Institute, from whom we receive our non-profit, 501(c)(3) status, furnishes our space, utilities and fine art insurance. All the other operating expenses of the Museum, including staff, are paid with donations from people like you. Without your help, our exhibit, outreach exhibits, research and education, acquisitions, collections and preservation activities will not be what they should be. THE TIME IS NOW Do not worry. The Museum will continue to serve and preserve. The Museum is too important to us all for us to let up in our support of this valuable asset to the Morgan Community. Let us know by your support now that you care. HOW TO HELP Become a member of the Friends of the National Museum of the Morgan Horse. Your contribution is 100% tax deductible.
