KNIGHT FOUNDRY … DONATE NOW

Please help us preserve and restore the historic Knight Foundry. After an unprecedented fundraising effort the City of Sutter Creek can proudly say that it owns the property, the buildings, and the contents of this historic jewel. Now the real work is under way to reach our long-term goal: to turn Knight Foundry into a world-class interactive museum and educational center. The irreplaceable, invaluable, and unique historic equipment and machinery that is still in place in its original context is being cleaned, catalogued, and restored. Your donation of any amount will make a positive difference to current and future generations. Please help.

If Knight Foundry is lost, along with it go technologies that may never be replicated.
