The Camron-Stanford House offers a museum membership that helps preserve and protect this landmark Victorian home. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization run by a small staff with the support of a dedicated group of volunteer board members and docents. We receive no local, state or federal funds for our operations. For more than 45 years we have depended on the generosity of our community to preserve the house, provide innovative exhibits and educational opportunities, and keep the grand old “Lady of the Lake” open for a new generation. Please consider partnering with us for this important work.
