The Whaling Museum is often considered a hidden gem. We’re so glad you’ve discovered us!

Many people assume our museum’s exhibits and events are mostly funded by the government or grants. Others assume admission is what keeps us afloat (it covers just 6% of what it takes to keep the doors open!).The majority of our support comes from community members - people like you - who decide to be donors to help keep Long Island’s history alive ... and fun!

We hope you will toss a coin (or a few!) our way to keep the museum’s community programs afloat. Your gift truly does wonders for The Whaling Museum. We’re here because of you - thank you!
