Preserving and displaying donations of photographs, documents, and artifacts related to the history of Wrightsville Beach are the heart of the Museum's activities.  The generosity of past donors has made possible the Museum that we have today.  We invite all friends of the Museum who want to protect and disseminate those things that represent the history, the fun, and the memories of the Beach to consider contributing to the Museum's holdings.

We are interested in photographs and illustrations that record the activities at the Beach and the people who were a part of it.  Subjects of particular interest include: visits to Wrightsville Beach by well known people, antique photographs and illustrations of well known commercial and recreational facilities on the Beach, boating and fishing scenes from the past, any activities before 1930, and public activities such as meetings, parties and celebrations.  Actually, if the activity was memorable enough for you and your family to save a photograph, we are probably interested in it!  Naturally, we are also interested in small and medium size artifacts of any type that reflect beach activities.  Past gifts from donors have included antique appliances, fishing gear, kitchen ware, toys, clothes, home decorations, and furniture.  If you want to retain the original document, you can still benefit the Museum and its visitors by allowing us to digitally scan the piece.  The original item is returned to you, unharmed in any way, within a few days.

• Josh Rickards of Creative Cascades has donated his time and supplies to upgrade and maintain the fish pond that is in honor of Elaine Creasy.  The renovations are now done so stop by to see this great work.  The plantings made possible by the grant from the Cape Fear Garden Club were used as part of the landscaping.
