Support the Work

Contributions to the Buxton National Historic Site & Museum help preserve one of Canada’s most significant Black heritage sites.
Why Your Support Matters
The Buxton National Historic Site & Museum is a community-operated institution dedicated to preserving the story of the Elgin Settlement and the families who built it. Your donation supports the conservation of artefacts, the digitization of records, educational programming, and the ongoing work of making these stories accessible to researchers and descendants around the world.
The Buxton Conference is proud to direct all donation support directly to the museum. We don’t handle funds ourselves — the link below takes you to the museum’s own giving page.
