Giving

The Seminole Nation Historical Society, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that owns and manages the Seminole Nation Museum without state, federal, or tribal operational funding. The Museum relies primarily on private contributions to support its work in preserving and promoting the culture and history of the people of the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, the community of Wewoka, and Seminole County. A significant component in achieving this goal is the financial support received from memberships to the Seminole Nation Historical Society. For us to continue to grow, we need YOU!

Wish List

Annually, the Daisy Unit Garden Club of Wewoka holds its annual “April Shower” fundraiser for the Seminole Nation Museum. Through this effort, the Museum receives important goods, supplies, services and financial contributions to help off-set extensive operating costs. A “Wish List” is compiled by the staff each year highlighting our needs. These items, many of them inexpensive, are a great way to support the Museum and our Mission throughout the year.
