We are the first museum in our region to offer this opportunity.
Through the generous underwriting of HBKS Wealth, we are going to offer the entire first quarter of the year as Pay What You Wish for all Erie County residents.

Made You Look: Erie signs with plenty of history and nostalgia
100 Years of the Erie Zoo: it roars with memories
Triggering History: Legacy of Erie firearms (opens in January)
