Our 1954 Oren fire truck was too big to fit through the proposed doors of the new Discovery Center, so the building was built around it

Annual Fund
Each year the Discovery Center seeks unrestricted funds from members, friends and supporters. These unrestricted dollars provide annual operating income and are critical in helping the museum fulfill its mission. Your gift could be worth even more if your company participates in a matching gifts program. Please check with your human resources office to see if your company participates in this program.

Help Discovery Center reach our $15,000 match! Right now we have a dollar-for-dollar match from several generous donors who have agreed to match all donations up to $15,000. This means your gift, if received by December 31, will be doubled.
