The Never Ending Story of Service and Support For over 120 years, individual supporters have made the Staten Island Museum the vital and exciting organization that it is. The Museum was founded in November 1881 by a group of hobby scientists and art collectors, preeminent among whom where William T. Davis and Charles W. Leng. Davis bequeathed his natural collections to the Museum and established a trust for their care. Like our founders, many of our supporters make charitable gifts by naming the Staten Island Museum in their wills.

Take for example Mr. and Mrs. Louis Miller who perpetuate their vision of enriching the cultural life on Staten Island. Born in Odessa, Russia, Mr. Miller became instrumental in saving High Rock Conservation Park, he worked to develop Museum's public programming, and initiated the expansion of our facilities. During the 1950s and 1960s he rose from trustee to become president of our Board of Trustees. Service to the community was second nature to Mr. Miller. His vision continues through his bequest even beyond life.

Thanks to people like Mr. and Mrs. Miller, Museum strives to be one of the region¹s premier cultural organizations. We invite you to consider including the Museum in your Gift Planning. The federal government encourages these gifts by providing favorable estate tax treatment. It does not matter how much you remember the Museum for, but the fact that you have remembered the Museum. If you have already remembered the Museum in your will or estate plan please contact us so that we can honor you with a lifetime Museum membership. For more information on Gift Planning contact Henryk Behnke, Vice President for Development, at 718.727.1135 x 114 or consult your financial advisor.
