Donate – The Meux Home Museum

Give Today to Safeguard Tomorrow’s History

The Meux Home Museum is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Contributions may be tax deductible as permitted by law.

The Meux Home Museum stands as one of the last remaining estates from Fresno’s Gilded Age, a period that helped shape the foundation of our city between 1870 and 1900. Through the dedication of our board members, volunteers, and supporters, the museum continues to welcome visitors who wish to experience Fresno’s early history inside an authentic Victorian home.

Preserving a historic property requires constant care. Every room, artifact, and architectural detail must be protected so that future generations may continue to learn from this remarkable place. Your support helps maintain the home, care for the collection, and expand educational programs that connect the community with Fresno’s past.

Support for the museum comes in many forms, including financial contributions, artifact donations, and sponsorship of preservation projects.

Support the Preservation of the Meux Home

Every contribution helps preserve the Meux Home Museum. Financial support allows us to maintain the historic structure, care for artifacts, and continue offering educational experiences for the community. Donations support preservation work, public programming, school tours, and the ongoing care of this historic property.

We invite supporters to join the Friends of the Meux Home, a community of donors who help sustain the museum through recurring monthly contributions. Monthly giving provides reliable support for preservation projects, educational programs, and daily operations that keep the home open to the public.

Supporters may choose a monthly level of giving that reflects their commitment to preserving Fresno’s historic heritage.

Artifact and Collection Donations

As we continue sharing the story of Fresno’s Gilded Age, the museum welcomes donations of artifacts that reflect daily life from approximately 1880 through the early twentieth century. Furniture, decorative arts, textiles, photographs, and personal items from this period help expand the museum’s collection and enrich the experience for visitors.

We also accept carefully selected items outside our core collection period when they support museum fundraising efforts such as the Bygone Bazaar. These donations help fund preservation work and support the ongoing care of the Meux Home.

Supporters interested in sponsoring a room, restoring a historic object, or funding a specific preservation project are encouraged to contact the museum directly. Our team would be happy to discuss opportunities that align with your interest in preserving Fresno’s history.

Your generosity ensures that the story of the Meux Home Museum and Fresno’s Gilded Age heritage remains alive for generations to come. Thank you for being a part of preserving our history.
