It's easy!

Your generous tax-deductible donations help us preserve history and make it available to the public for all generations to see.

Our Mission

The Forney Museum of Transportation is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization which exists to collect, preserve, and exhibit items of artistic, historical and technological interest relating to transportation for the purposes of education and personal enrichment.

Donation Guidelines

All donations are reviewed by the Donation Review Committee. The Forney Museum of Transportation may not accept certain donations based on the following criteria:

Condition
Duplication within the collection.
Inability to properly preserve or display.
Outside the scope of our mission.

For the Donor

Please provide the museum the following in order for your donation to be considered:

  1. A detailed description of the item(s). If multiple objects, then a comprehensive inventory list.
  2. Photographs of each object.
