People Funded. People Powered. People’s History.

YOU are reclaiming history for the next generation —
Over half of our funding comes from our Members like you!

Thanks for keeping our museum a proudly independent nonprofit. With your support, we’re connecting the legacy and impact of people organizing and risking their lives for their human rights, civil liberties, and labor justice in Appalachia to the movements and struggles of all people, past and present.

$5+

Help sustain the museum’s work with year-round support for year-round exhibits and programs both in-person and online. Our Mine Wars history was buried and your support reclaims it by keeping our bills paid, staff employed, and programs thriving!

$60+
