For more than 125 years, Kilmer Mansion has stood as one of Binghamton’s most stunning and storied landmarks—a place where history lives in every carved detail, every curved-glass window, and every gathering held within its walls.

Friends of Kilmer Mansion was formed to protect and preserve this treasure, not as a museum frozen in time, but as a vibrant hub for our community—hosting programs, tours, events, and partnerships that bring people together.

Thanks to your support, the mansion has seen new life:

Public programs have grown by dozens in the past year.
Hundreds of people have connected with history, art, and each other under its roof.

But behind the beauty of Kilmer Mansion lies the everyday reality:
Preservation requires people, programs, and operations. While restoration grants help with bricks and mortar, they cannot keep the lights on, pay staff, or fund the day-to-day work that makes the mansion come alive.

That’s where you come in.

Your gift to Keep Kilmer Mansion Alive will:

Support the dedicated staff who welcome every visitor and care for this historic space.
Sustain the community programs that make the mansion accessible to all.
Continue providing opportunities for local entrepreneurs to showcase and grow their businesses.
Ensure momentum continues toward preserving the mansion for generations to come.

Without operational support, progress slows. Opportunities are missed. And the vibrant future we’re building for Kilmer Mansion could be at risk.

You have the power to protect Binghamton’s historic gem—not just as a building, but as a place where history, culture, commerce, and community meet.

Make your gift today and join us in keeping the spirit of Kilmer alive.
