Protect Our Taonga and Keep Our Museum Accessible for Everyone
Our museum is more than just a building — it's a place where stories are kept alive, where taonga are cared for, and where our community can connect with the past.
By donating or volunteering, you're helping ensure that our heritage remains open, welcoming and accessible to all.
Whether you give your time or make a financial contribution, your support helps us share Featherston's unique history with future generations.
Together, we can honour the past and inspire the future.
Your support helps us
- care for the Museum's collections and displays;
- maintain and improve the Museum and its exhibitions;
- preserve and share Featherston's military and community heritage;
- make collections and stories accessible to visitors, researchers and future generations.
Online donation options are being updated. If you would like to support the Museum now, please contact us and we'll be happy to provide the current donation options.
