The Silver City Museum Society has a “FUNdraising” committee led by Patsy Madrid. This is a great group of museum members whose mission is to raise money for exhibits, events and programs, as well as to promote the museum to Grant County residents. The committee organizes many wonderful fundraising events, including BINGO!, an annual courtyard art sale, food sales at museum events, and the Territorial Charter Ball, which happens in February.

In addition to a robust Lunch & Learn series co-sponsored by the Silver City Museum and WILL each semester, WILL offers many courses on local history. This fall, Julia Robinson presented a class called, “Early Jewish Settlers and Those Who Stayed.”
After the discovery of silver in the 1870s, miners, and settlers flocked to this area. Some of these early settlers were Ashkenazi Jewish men who established the first saloons and general stores, owned the first banks, and started families.
