What your support made possible this year.

by Dr. Jonathan Clancy, Executive Director

Dear Friends,

We’ve had a pretty amazing year at the Stickley Museum at Craftsman Farms and are looking forward to accomplishing even more in 2026. Your support helped us:

• Welcome more than 2100 visitors since January 1st.
• Retain more than 300 member households.
• Fill more than 600 seats in online classes.
• Host 4 free open houses for our community.
• Surpass more than 21,000 views of library materials on archive.org.

Understand that none of this happens without you: we rely on the generosity of friends, supporters, and members to sustain our operations throughout the year. We ask you each year to consider our achievements and to help ensure that we can continue to provide programming and opportunities that you find valuable.

A year end gift is not just an act of charity, it’s bigger than that. In my mind, it is a downpayment we’re making to the generations who follow us that this place we care about so deeply will be available to (and flourishing for) them and their children. It’s an investment that we will use to make sure that the important work we do–educating, inspiring, and preserving–continues uninterrupted.

Please consider making a gift to the Annual Fund. Samuel will put a button somewhere below my signature and this is a secure and easy way to make a donation. Or you can mail it to us if that’s your preference. Every gift you make or mail before the first of the New Year means that 2025 just keeps getting better.

As always, I am humbled by the generosity I witness here daily. I hope this note finds you and yours safe, healthy, and happy this holiday season.

Giving made easy.
