A generous financial contribution from Maxfield Real Estate has enabled the Wright Museum to offer Half Off Admission Day on Monday, May 17. “We are so thankful for the continued support of Maxfield Real Estate, as we are striving to provide as much access as possible to our museum and rotating exhibits,” said Mike Culver, Museum Executive Director.
Half Off Admission Day follows similarly themed events sponsored by Maxfield Real Estate in past years, a commitment that reflects the agency’s very beginnings. “Henry S. Maxfield, Sr. served on the field of battle and was a prisoner of war,” said Randy Parker of Maxfield Real Estate. “When he returned home after the war, he established a very successful real estate company.”
Sponsorship of The Wright is part of Maxfield Real Estate’s “We Care” program, which was established in 1999 as a way to give back to the community. Since its inception, the program has raised more than $1,200,000 for local charities.
“It has certainly been a success and been beneficial to many in Wolfeboro,” said Parker, who purchased Maxfield Real Estate with son Jon in 2019 after beginning his career under Henry’s son, Chip. “We are pleased to continue our support of the Wright Museum, which provides a unique glimpse into a very important part of American history.”
Culver added, “We look forward to a wonderful day for people of all ages — and because our space is so large, visitors can rest assured that they can enjoy and socially distance themselves.”
The region’s leading resource for educators and learners of all ages on World War II, Wright Museum features more than 14,000 items in its collection that are representative of both the homefront and battlefield.
