Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum

Your Gift Brings Native History to Life for Thousands of
Children

Support education and cultural experiences that spark
curiosity, empathy, and pride in the next generation

Every year, thousands of children visit Mt. Kearsarge
Indian Museum—and for many, it’s their very first encounter with Native
American culture and history.

They walk through our galleries with wide eyes, full of
questions.  They participate in Native
crafts or games, explore the Medicine Woods Trail to learn about Native
environmental wisdom, and hear stories that challenge the myths they've been
taught in textbooks and the stereotypes they’ve seen in movies.

At MKIM, we’re not just preserving the past—we’re inspiring
the future.  But we can’t do it without
you.

Make a Difference Today

An example that sticks in
our minds: At an outdoor stargazing event, one youngster said to our Executive
Director, “This is the first time I’ve been outside at night!”  Imagine the impact we have had on this boy's life.

Please help us reach our goal of $10,000 to
support our youth and family programming.

Who We Are

We, as an arts and culture organization, preserve Native American heritage, celebrate their self-expression, foster appreciation of New Hampshire’s diversity and the diversity of Native cultures. We preserve and display Native-made objects from the remote past through the present and propagate plants used by Native peoples for food, medicine, housing and household goods. We celebrate Native self-expression through art, storytelling, music and dance. We educate through tours, classes, lectures and family events.
