“A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.”
-Marcus Garvey
Be A Revolutionary
Bring the history back to the Irem Temple!
The restored Irem Temple will feature a high-tech, 18,000 square foot museum showcasing the area’s rich history and its crucial role in our nation’s founding and rise to prosperity in both the American and Industrial Revolutions. We will partner with organizations throughout Wyoming Valley to highlight its time as a critical Native America cross-road, through our tremendous impact in the American Revolution to our unrivaled roll in the early industrial revolution. Spaces will include a Living Map Room and Immersion Booth technology – developed to put 21st century visitors into an interactive learning experience.
Like the Revolutionary figures of the Wyoming Valley who helped build a nation, the Irem Temple Restoration Project’s Revolutionary Club members will be on the leading edge of the project. Your early support will help restore the Irem Temple to its former glory and create its next chapter as an economic driver and pillar of the growing Heritage Tourism industry.
Join our Revolutionaries* and become an “insider”, helping write the next chapter in the story of this magnificent building. In return, you’ll receive the benefits of museum membership, complimentary tickets to special events, hard hats tours with an inside peek at ongoing construction, and more, based on your level of support. Our most generous donors will also receive permanent recognition inside the restored building and will be our honored guests at the Grand Opening Gala.
Take a look at our chart of benefits below and pick the level that’s right for you. You can schedule your donation to be monthly, quarterly, annually or all at once. But you’ll want to sign on as a Revolutionary now – benefits will be reduced as we move closer to completion.
