ABOUT
In the early 1990s a group of community-minded individuals formed the Gatchell Museum Association, Inc. The GMA mission is to raise money and contribute financially to the museum’s operations.
Today the Gatchell Museum Association, Inc., is a private non-profit organization and offers membership with benefits of discounts in the museum store and museum admission tickets. A subscription to the quarterly magazine, the Sentry, is provided by the museum as well.
For more information on the GMA or to donate, please contact the organization at gma@jimgatchell.com
