Donating to Washington Heritage Museums means honoring the people, places, and stories that shaped America.
Preserving Fredericksburg’s rich 18th-century history isn’t just about maintaining old buildings—it’s about keeping alive the stories, struggles, and triumphs that shaped American history. Washington Heritage Museums relies on the generosity of people like you to sustain its mission: caring for sites including the Mary Washington House, the Hugh Mercer Apothecary Shop, the Rising Sun Tavern, and the Mary Washington Monument and grounds.
Your contribution directly supports the preservation and interpretation of these treasured landmarks, allowing future generations to walk in the footsteps of history. Whether you choose to make a one-time gift or support WHM annually, your generosity ensures that this vital history remains accessible, engaging, and alive.
