Adopt an Artifact
Our Adopt an Artifact program is a way to ensure the proper care and preservation of our historic collection in support of our non-profit mission. Your tax-deductible “adoption fee” helps us manage the upkeep, maintenance, and conservation of our historic collection.
All adoptions are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law. Adoptions go not only to the maintenance of a specific artifact but to support the museum mission as a whole. Castle in the Clouds is not limited to immediately conserving an artifact if funds are not raised in full.
How does the program work?
Artifact adoption, or “sponsorship”, lasts one year from the date of adoption. Please note that the adoption of an artifact does not mean you are purchasing the item, but rather sponsoring the artifact in support of the museum’s overall mission. As our interpretation of the mansion and property evolves, some artifacts may be removed from display at the end of a season.
Depending on the level of sponsorship, donors will receive:
$50 – $150 Sponsorship
Adoption certificate
Your name as the artifact sponsor on this web page
Picture of the artifact with description and explanation of the significance
Tax-deductible receipt
$200 – $500 Sponsorship
All of the above, plus…

If the artifact is conserved or maintained, before and after pictures
$1000 and up
All of the above, plus…
