Kingman Museum began accepting a limited number of
artifact donations in 2007. Collection Committee and Board Members
consider how the donation fits the mission of Kingman Museum and
if it fills a void in the current collection. Guidelines for accepting
donations are outlined in our Collection
Policy. Contact Katie Nelson,
Collections Manager, ex 13, if you would like to make an artifact
donation, or email us.
