All the excitement throughout the day really boils down to our effort to raise money to support the educational goals of the Friends of President Polk's Birthplace, a 501c3 charitable organization. Just by attending and paying the $5/car admission fee, you will be supporting our mission for the upcoming year.

In addition to admission, we will also be raising funds throug a ticketed raffle featuring donated items from local business as well as a silent auction for some of our larger donations.
