The Genesis of A NEW Kingman Museum

NEW MEZZANINE & EXHIBITS ARE NOW OPEN! - See
below for pics.
Welcome. This section is dedicated to chronicling the creation
of new spaces at Kingman Museum. Here we will document changes
taking place throughout the museum. We will take you back a few years
to what once was, show you how far we have come to date, and show
you plans for what will be with continued community support.
New things are happening at YOUR Kingman Museum. Please excuse
our messes as renovations occur. We are receiving monies from
various organizations and individuals to update our infrastructure
and to design and install new exhibitions on natural history, the
universe, and world cultures. We appreciate your patience and
welcome your support.
Over the next 18 months, you will see a
great deal of change here at Kingman Museum supported by donations
and grants from the following: W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Battle Creek
Community Foundation, Battle Creek Community Foundation- Hunter Fund,
Southwest Michigan Rehab Foundation, Guido A. & Elizabeth H.
Binda Foundation, Miller Foundation, Society of Exploration Geophysicists,
Schweitzer Construction, Union Electric, Battle Creek Tile & Mosaic, Larry
Sehy and family, Frank and John Zanetti, Barbara Porter, and Sally
Turner, to name a few.
More funding is needed to complete the
renovations, new exhibitions, and accompanying programming. Naming
opportunities are available. You
can be a part of these projects with an investment of only $100. Gather
your family or talk to your community service group about sponsoring
a portion of our new exhibitions. Maybe you would like to
sponsor the restoration of a mounted animal such as Barbara Porter
has for the Speke’s Gazelle, sponsor a drawer in one of the
permanent exhibitions like Sally Turner has, or sponsor an entire
exhibit like the Sehy Family. Opportunities abound. Contact
Sara Ann Briggs at 269-965-5117 or sbriggs@kingmanmuseum.org. See
our current sponsor list here

IBEW Local #445
