For many years, the Town of Westport Island has built its collection through the generosity of local individuals and families. Our organization has been built with volunteer time; our collections grow with the photos, documents and stories shared by residents; and we are able to develop archival storage systems and share the stories of Westport history through your generous financial support.

Donate Your Time: The Friends need volunteers! Help catalog the collections, be a docent at the History Center, or help plan and present events and exhibits. In return, you’ll learn so much about your town and have fun in the process! Contact us by email at fowih19@gmail.com or come to a meeting on the last Wednesday of every month at the History Center.

Donate Your Stories: If you have documents, photographs, or historical items, the Friends may like to add it to the Town of Westport Island collections. Oral histories are also welcome; a member is available to record your stories. If you have documents or photos you’d like to share, but want to retain ownership of your collection, we can scan the items and return them to you. Contact us by email at fowih19@gmail.com.

Make A Monetary Gift: You may choose to support us by making a financial donation, which contributes to the upkeep of the History Center and our collections. The Friends is a is a 501(c)(3), so donations are tax deductible. Use the form below.
