We Need Your Help
To FinishThe Work of
Preserving Our History!
Since the passing of our founder, many people have asked what they can do to help. We truly need your financial assistance, large or small, to help us maintain the building. From the museum's inception, Rev. Benson used his own resources with the assistance of volunteers to meet the needs of our community and fulfill the mission to share the history with all who came through the doors. With the exception of occasional donors, we do not receive funding from any other entity to run the museum. There is not a museum in this area like The Benson Museum. We do need your help to continue the great work that Rev. Benson started and to maintain the buiding that all of these treasures are stored in. Please make a tax deductible contribution to help us continue his work. You may send your donations to the address below . Thank you so very much! This picture is from early August when it appeared that the whole building would have to come down. Thankfully, it has not.
Our Plan
We have established a building fund at Susquehanna Bank in Lawnside, NJ. and our long term plan is to seek funding through grants that may be available for maintaining museums such as ours. Very few grants, however, will include or allow funding for renovation. We continue to do educational programming outside of the museum. This picture is from the demolition stage.
We will continue to do presentations outside of the museum so that the history, that we are fighting to save, can continue to be shared with young and old. We will also continue to work tirelessly to do what must be done to further the work that Rev. Benson began in the museum to educate and empower all who walked through the doors of The Benson History Museum.

The Benson History Museum also offers a Tee shirt ranging in sizes from children's to 4x. This soft cotton tee comes in grey, neon green, white, pink and yellow. You can order one for a donation of $12.00. Thank you for your help!
This picture is from when the building was wrapped for the winter. All work has ceased because we have run out of money. But...the contractor wrapped the building tightly and we pray the elements are no longer getting into the building. That is why we must raise the necessary funds to complete the job.
