Our Mission & Approach
Rebuilding our future, Recovering out past
At Friends Of The Aberdeen Museum, our mission is to weave the vibrant tapestry of Aberdeen's history, from its founding days to the present, by envisioning a revitalized museum in a new location that honors our past while inspiring future generations. We are committed to preserving the unique stories and artifacts that define our community, ensuring that every piece of history is meticulously restored and celebrated. Through the unwavering support of our volunteers, donors, and local partners, we aim to create a welcoming space that invites exploration and education, rekindling connections to our shared heritage and fostering a collective pride in the rich narrative of Aberdeen. Together, we are not merely rebuilding a museum; we are igniting a movement to cherish and elevate the legacy of our beloved city for years to come.
Rising from the Ashes is what we do.
Like the legendary Phoenix bird we will rise to see a new museum in the community.The recovery team found that there were some “gems” hidden in the ashes of the Armory. Work is underway to clean and preserve everything possible. We will never forget the beautiful place that we lost and hope the new museum will contain many items that are reminiscent of that space.
"You can help support our mission in many ways."
History98520 is on a mission to interpret and preserve Aberdeen history through community outreach, education, artifact preservation and restoration.
