In 1962, the schoolchildren of Massachusetts donated their milk money to save Big Mamie from the scrap heap, proving that you don't need to be a millionaire to make a difference.

Whether you give $5 or $5,000, your valuable cash donation to our Annual Fund bolsters a multitude of activities at this nonprofit memorial museum. So if you're torn between supporting our award-winning educational programs or our timely restoration projects and special exhibits, the choice is simple: the Annual Fund supports them all.

Please don't delay in supporting our mission.

Some heroes never step on the battlefield.

WOMEN PROTECTING US: While formal military status for US women began in 1942, women have always borne the burden of military conflict. Often unrecognized, their contributions paved the way for the legions of women who serve today as equals to men in our armed forces. Now, their stories are being discovered and retold at Battleship Cove. Women Protecting US, a new exhibit planned at Battleship Cove, will represent Southern New England’s first in-depth documentation of women’s military contribution to America. This provocative exhibition will chronicle how women in the military perform valuable duties, and how women on the home front preserve the fabric of our nation while soldiers and sailors fight overseas.

If you would like to join Macy’s East and the Federated Department Stores Foundation, the Yawkey Foundations, the Fall River Women’s Union, and the Fall River Cultural Council as a sponsor, please contact Battleship Cove.

We also need artifacts and oral histories for this important project. If you are interested in being interviewed, please contact our curator or follow this link to learn more about our oral history program.
