More Than Shakers: Margaret's Museum Needs You
Spende geschützt
For over 30 years, Margaret's passion for collecting salt and pepper shakers has blossomed into an incredible journey. Her collection, boasting over 12,000 unique sets, is more than just a hobby; it's a testament to history, culture, and art, waiting to be shared.
Imagine rows upon rows of shakers, each a story waiting to be told. Margaret envisions a museum where people can connect, explore, and be inspired by these everyday objects.
This dream extends beyond shakers. Margaret's collection also includes over 500 vibrant cookie jars, some even matching their shaker counterparts! Years of dedication and support from loved ones have brought Margaret this far, but now she stands at a crossroads.
The current space can't contain the ever-growing collection, and hundreds of shakers wait patiently in boxes. Margaret's dream museum feels tantalizingly close, yet just out of reach.
Here's where you come in:
With your help, we can turn Margaret's dream into a reality. Every contribution, big or small, brings us closer to opening our doors and sharing this unique collection with the world.
Your contribution will be used for:
- Building the museum: Purchasing and joining two 14' x 40' buildings, creating a welcoming and safe space for visitors.
- Bringing the collection to life: Purchasing displays and shelving to showcase the shakers and cookie jars through beautiful exhibits.
- Preserving the museum and its treasures: Ensuring the long-term care and protection of the collection and its new home.
By supporting the Margaret Salt & Pepper Museum, you're not just helping build a museum; you're investing in a community hub, sparking joy, and inspiring others to chase their dreams.
Join us today and help Margaret sprinkle her magic on the world!
