Shop with purpose

Museum Store Sunday is a national movement that supports cultural institutions by encouraging patrons to “Shop with Purpose” and give back to the local community through their purchases. The Gerald R. Ford Museum Store offers a selection of books, gifts, and keepsakes that capture the spirit of history, patriotism, and Michigan culture.

With the exclusive 25% discount, it’s a great chance to purchase one-of-a-kind items that help support the Library and Museum’s programs, exhibits and educational and outreach initiatives.

Free gifts and samples

In addition to the discount, the first fifty children to visit will receive a free gift, sparking a love of learning and history for young museum-goers. There will also be giveaways for shoppers while supplies last, so be sure to arrive early and explore everything the store has to offer.

Adding to the festive spirit, Grand Rapids-based Ferris Coffee and Nut Co. has donated complimentary coffee samples and snacks for shoppers. Whether you’re searching for a special gift or simply want to support the museum, Museum Store Sunday at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum is the perfect way to kick off the holiday season.
