Adopt an Artefact
The Lac-Brome Museum (LBM) preserves an extensive collection of artefacts and archival materials. Among the thousands of objects in the museum collections are costumes, ceramics, furniture, tools, early electronics, military artefacts, works of art, and much more. The archival collection consists of thousands of photographs, journals, scrapbooks, documents, and books. Together, these irreplaceable objects tell the story of Brome County from its earliest days.
The Adopt an Artefact program enables individuals, schools, organizations, community groups, and businesses to select and sponsor artefacts from the collections for a year. By adopting one of our incredible objects, your tax-deductible contribution helps ensure that the LBM can continue to protect and preserve the heritage and history of Brome County for future generations.
