Community Engagement Message from the Executive Director

Some More Wonderful News!

“The Barnum Museum remains unyieldingly determined to revitalize from its series of natural disasters – and now we remain vigilant and steadfast as we navigate Covid-19. 

We are so grateful to Congressman Himes for being one of the Barnum Museum’s greatest champions and we are truly thankful to our devoted community for their support and encouragement. This nomination is a wonderful tribute to the hard work, dedication and passion of so many.  Our sincerest thanks to Congressman Himes!”  Robert Cardillo, Barnum Museum Board Chair.On behalf of the Barnum Museum, please join me in a loud and joyous word of thanks to Congressman Jim Himes for nominating the Museum for a 2021 National Medal of Museum and Library Service.  These awards are made by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, (an independent agency of the United States federal government) and are the nation’s highest honor that recognizes outstanding American institutions that make extraordinary contributions to their communities.

Although the award announcement won’t be until May 2021, we are profoundly grateful to each and every one of you who encourages and inspires us onward!

Thank you all!
Stay safe, stay strong, 

Kathy
