HELP PRESERVE THE LEGACY

Participate in our Commemorative Bench Campaign

As a supporter of the African American Museum of Bucks County’s commemorative bench  campaign, you will have the opportunity to leave a legacy by purchasing a bench in your family’s and/or organization’s honor. These benches will be prominently displayed around our brick patio, or in various shaded areas overlooking our beautifully landscaped property. These commemorative benches are classically styled to recreate the historic look of the Boone Farm property. Your contribution will serve as a symbol of your commitment to preserving African American history right in our own backyard for generations to come.

 

Your generous support will help us preserve and display our heritage through exhibits, classes, and live events to continue our mission of educating and inspiring students, individuals, and families from Bucks County and beyond. By purchasing a commemorative bench, you can become a part of our museum’s history and help us secure our permanent home at Boone Farm. Your contribution will support the construction and development of our new facility, ensuring that our stories are preserved and shared with future generations.

Engraved Bench Form

Please note that you will be sent a proof of your plaque for your approval prior to it being engraved. 

Although there is a 50 year warranty against breakage on the bench, there is no guarantee on the lifetime of the bench. It will not be the African American Museum of Bucks County's responsibility to replace it once the bench is no longer usable and/or worn. The African American Museum of Bucks County will take suggestions for the placement of the benches but will have the ultimate decision on where the bench is placed. The Museum will  pay for shipping costs and the concrete to place the bench. The cost to donors covers the personalized bench. By signing and dating this document, you agree to the full terms of this agreement.
