Mission Statement
It is the mission of the Kennesaw Museum Foundation Inc. to affect
a superior Museum environment through philanthropic
and programmatic support of the Southern Museum of Civil War
and Locomotive History. The Foundation was established and duly
chartered by the state of Georgia in 1998 to aid the mission of
the Museum in presenting a quality educational experience to tourists
and those interested in Civil War and locomotive history. It is
also the mission of the Kennesaw Museum Foundation to identify priorities,
direction and goals defining the Museum’s image and objectives.
The development and growth of the foundation has been a true public/private
partnership. From an initial grant of $500 in 1999 the Museum Foundation
has been able to create a donor base approaching 1000 individuals,
private foundations and companies.
