Opportunities for Businesses

A Smart Business Decision that Connects to your Goals

Your business’s support of Hanford Mills Museum is an investment that pays many rewards:

  • Community members and other visitors can experience a story of innovation, ingenuity, history, science, and entrepreneurship at a historic working mill site, all in a beautiful rural setting..
  • History and science lessons come to life as schoolchildren watch the 1926 Fitz Overshot Waterwheel power pulleys, vintage woodworking machines and the sawmill.
  • Expert-led workshops offer people the opportunity to pursue an interest in woodworking, farmhouse cooking, steam power, and a variety of other topics.
  • Staff preserve and restore historic tools and machinery, so the museum can continue to demonstrate the stories and innovations of the past.
  • Friends and families enjoy a day of fun and learning at Hanford Mills Museum’s Special Events.
  • Long-forgotten memories surface as people visit the Mill, the John Hanford Farmhouse, and the Museum’s other historic buildings. Memories are shared and connections are strengthened.

Your company’s financial support will enable Hanford Mills Museum to provide more opportunities for people to make connections that add meaning and understanding to their lives. It will also connect your business with local residents and regional visitors who come for our unique events, children’s activities, hands-on workshops, lectures, and other programs. We look forward to crafting a sponsorship that meets your company’s needs.
