The Bronze Door Society, named for the magnificent bronze doors at the Museum's original entrance, is an active group of Museum members who gather regularly for lectures, behind-the-scenes tours, and social events that:

• encourage in-depth understanding of the Museum's collections
• assist the Museum in funding the acquisition or conservation of selected artifacts and works of art
• help members learn about collecting for their own personal enrichment

Annual Antique and Classic Boat Show & Rendezvous - DSC00128


This year’s Oyster Roast fund raiser supports the Museum’s collection.
The Annual Dinner-Meeting of the Bronze Door Society was held on Friday evening, May 30, 2008 in the Main Lobby at the Museum, under the watchful gaze of the iconic Lancaster Eagle figurehead. The meeting was an extraordinary success: great food, great people, and great fun! At this special event, the Society’s members considered five proposals from Museum curators and archivists to acquire new artifacts for the Museum’s collections and to conserve critical artifacts already in the collections.

The presentations of the proposals were engaging and animated. After spirited discussion, the Society’s members voted on how to apply the funds they had raised over the previous year. The voting resulted in an unexpected tie: to fund the publication of a book on the Museum’s hallmark collection of ship models by August and Winnifred Crabtree, and to fund a special exhibition of the Museum’s connection to The Secret Land (Antarctica). Rather than a run-off vote, the members of the Society opted to fund both projects!
