Support

We are grateful to our many friends who keep our museum going through annual financial support. Financial contributions can be made online, by mail or in person. Please help us ensure the continuation of our programs through your support.

The Lakeport Pillars is our Museum membership and friends program. The Lakeport Plantation relies on the support of our members and volunteers to continue to maintain our collection and provide quality educational programming.
