We are deeply grateful for the generosity of individual supporters who contribute to The Whaling Museum, who help us reach our ambitious goals. ​

Our Museum began as a humble effort in 1936 by local Long Islanders to gather and preserve a disappearing history. Today, many think of the museum as a gem in the community.

For the past 85 years, individuals like you have shown their support to ensure a vibrant, growing museum with innovative and engaging exhibitions, programs, and events in art, history, science and culture, on and offsite. 

Museum admission and events only cover a small portion of the Museum's operating expenses; philanthropic support enables our museum to provide the gift of knowledge to visitors of all ages, produce meaningful exhibitions, and preserve its priceless collection.

We invite you to show your support today!
