ABOUT

The Gatchell Museum Association, Inc., is a private non-profit organization that has built an endowment fund to ensure the success of the Johnson County Jim Gatchell Memorial Museum. In addition to financial support, the GMA also offers museum membership with benefits of discounts in the museum store and subscription to the quarterly magazine, The Sentry.  The GMA conducts and aids in grant writing efforts, project specific funding, managing events, and all GMA board members are museum ambassadors within the community.

Since the early 1990’s, the GMA has been a fundamental part of keeping the Jim Gatchell Memorial Museum a part of the Johnson County community.
