Overview
Mission
We first opened our doors in 2010, and our exhibits change every three to four years. We've covered everything from milling, to country stores, to slavery in the area. That's no easy task for a small museum run by volunteers. But we do it because we beleive that small local museums are critical to keeping the community's history alive and benefit the people who live here and those who visit. Big things do come in small packages. The brownsburg museum is a non-profit organization. We are all volunteers and rely on generous donations from the community and visitors to keep our doors open and our admission free. Come visit. The valley is beautiful, and this place is a step back in time and a delightful journey off the beaten path.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
