Become a patron.

Museums are kept going by their patrons. We're a shop, not a museum, but we work like one: every piece is researched, photographed and written up before it's set out. If you've enjoyed looking around and aren't taking anything home today, you can chip in to help a small Main Street business grow.

This is separate from shopping: every piece keeps its marked price.

Where it goes

• More hands: help in the shop, so more pieces get researched and put out
• More room: space to show more of what comes through the door
• More stories: photos and write-ups for every piece, in the shop and online

$5, $10, $25, or any amount you like

Always voluntary; looking around is free. Richmond General is a for-profit small business, not a nonprofit, so contributions aren't tax-deductible. Checkout runs through Square at richmondgeneral.com, where it's labeled a donation.
