What We Do

What Programs Does the Support Group Fund?

While the President James K. Polk State Historic Site is a state-owned museum, most of the educational programs and special events for school children and adults are funded by the support group's membership dues.

In the past, the​ Friends of President Polk's Birthplace have funded field trip experiences for children, special events like PolkFest, and honorariums for guest speakers! 

The Polk Site also receives leadership support from a board comprised of support group members.
