Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arts & Culture, History Museums
Mission: The hampton history museum association supports and supplements the operation of the hampton history museum. Its primary mission includes educating the public on the nature and importance of the history of the city of hampton and the former elizabeth city county, advocating and stimulating the city of hampton to build, staff and operate the hampton history musuem, participate in raising funds for contribution to the city of hampton and providing volunteer personnel service to the city to identify, catalog, store and preserve the historical holdings of the city of hampton.
Target demographics: The Hampton History Museum seeks to deepen the understanding of past choices, present circumstances, and future possibilities; strengthen the bonds of the community and facilitate solutions to common problems. We believe history museums should not be about answers but about the questions our history raises and therefore creates the opportunity to discuss meaning. Indeed, history or our collective memory is how we become a community as we share stories, ideas and beliefs and come together in the process.
Direct beneficiaries per year: Last year, we served over 50,000 individuals
Geographic areas served: The mission of the Hampton History Museum is “to build a better future by exploring and preserving our past.”
Programs: Our collection, exhibitions, lectures, cultural presentations, educational activities, oral histories, and other programs, are part of our overall strategy to share the truth of our past and learn from it to guide our public actions.
