SUPPORT US

We are in the beginning stages of creating the museum and marketplace; finalizing a business plan, curating items for the museum, partnering with wholesalers for the mercantile, and most importantly...acquiring funding. 

​

I have secured a storefront in beautiful downtown Lincolnton, NC which will house our unique, one of a kind collection of pickle memorabilia as well as our pickle and pickled theme mercantile. 

​

The Museum will offer free admission and provide a family friendly, enjoyable, and educational experience. The exhibits will range from, but are not limited to, sports memorabilia, serveware, advertising, toys, pop culture, and even a growing art exhibit. 

​

My goal for the mercantile will be to support not only small batch pickle businesses across the U.S. but have a focus on our local picklers and farming community. We are in the process of compiling a list of possible wholesalers we can partner with to provide a wide variety of pickles, pickled flavored food and other yummy pickled items. We plan to also offer non-edible pickle themed items for pickle enthusiasts to purchase and enjoy. 

​

I would like to host a grand opening before end of Summer 2024 but require the start up funds to pay for rent in the beginning, curate the museum, stock the mercantile, purchase displays and shelving, utilities, maintenance, staffing, marketing & promotion, as well as capital improvements. 

​

Down the road, the idea would also be to have a cozy event space on-site to host food preservation and other homesteading type activities. We look to partner with our local co-operative, 4-H, and educational facilities to host demos, tastings, and practical skill learnings related to canning, fermentation, gardening, etc. 

​

Your contributions to this endeavor will allow a wonderful new destination be created and encourage it to grow into one the most unique museums around. We offer a multitude of donation levels which will allow you to be on the ground floor and become founding contributors with rewards that will not be offered in the future. 

​

Our campaign runs for the next 60 days (starting 4/25/24). Please consider helping us reach out goal by clicking on the link below. Thank you!
