The museum had a direct impact on over 69,000 people through field trips, camps, virtual field trips and in person visits. Our total impact was beyond 104,000 people. We began transforming our second floor into a farm to fork style exhibit titled: Discover the Valley: Food for Thought. Our goal is to highlight the incredible agricultural jewels present in the Shenandoah Valley. This first year, of our two-year exhibit installation, is focused on upgrading our apple packing shed and our farmers market. We also installed the cornerstone barn exhibit which is the highlight of our educationally rich farm display. The barn serves as the immersive setting for several exhibit components that highlights poultry and dairy farming. The barns also showcases the rich history of the valleys equine industry. We included a mural of our local champion; Sir Barton, who was the first horse to win the Triple Crown! Our exhibit team worked hard to ensure that our exhibits reflect all of the local history and pride of the Shenandoah Valley. We hosted our first Call for Art: requesting proposals from local artists, through a juried process we selected an artist to create a stunning mural in our classroom. The museum also impacted the local community through partnership driven Family Fun Walk that is in Jim Burnett Park and offers interactive engaging prompts for families to enjoy. All of these educational kinesthetic exhibit components were funded by our local community partners. We continue to grow our attendance raising the number of active members families from 618 families in 2022 and increasing to 685 families in 2023. Our summer camp schedule consisted of 37 total camps that welcomed 547 total campers. We offered scholarships to 24% of our campers. We increased the amount of free attendance going from 3,900 in 2022 to over 5,033 in 2023. The Shenandoah Valley Discovery Museum stays firmly committed to opening our doors as wide as possible. 558697 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 7 0 true 25 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 13 13 false false false false false false false true true false false true false true true true true false X X DAWN DEVINE 5407222020 19 WEST CORK STREET WINCHESTER VA 22601 DAWN DEVINE Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 99409 0 2000 NEILE MARTIN President 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DR JASON CRAIG Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 COURTNEY WARNER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MEGHAN FORD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DR YOLANDA BARBIER-GIBSON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANDY GAIL Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JONATHAN REIMER Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DR COLETTE SABBAGH President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DR STEHPANIE LESSARD-PILON Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 HOLLY OWENS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 NAN BRYANT Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROSSI SELZER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 COURTENAY NANTZ Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 99409 2000 0 false false false 0 90580 30613 226170 347363 ADMISSION FEES 900099 484481 484481 484481 45537 45537 0 0 0 269200 248029 21171 21171 21171 50441 12602 37839 0 29895 13780 16115 16115 MISCELLANEOUS 5083 5083 5083 957589 526850 45537 X 0 0 0 0 99409 39763 49705 9941 0 261167 209519 15605 36043 0 9366 8018 791 557 27428 18962 4968 3498 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5434 4619 272 543 0 6662 5996 533 133 0 0 2976 2976 0 190 190 0 0 141465 138635 1415 1415 14677 12475 1468 734 PROFESSIONAL FEES 27684 4828 22856 MAINTENANCE 20881 20463 209 209 UTILITIES 20710 20296 207 207 MISCELLANEOUS 16223 3274 12949 76114 68873 3828 3413 730386 558697 114996 56693 603893 619455 0 115243 85827 0 0 0 0 5591 6275 9570 9570 5205408 1670320 3609043 3535088 657201 1003047 43939 48071 0 0 41107 41107 5085587 5348440 17589 21638 78097 48709 95686 70347 X 4256522 4470696 733379 807397 4989901 5278093 5085587 5348440 227203 65770 -4781 X true X false false false X 290544 452831 438969 459422 316750 1958516 0 0 290544 452831 438969 459422 316750 1958516 0 1958516 796 19447 22601 20922 45537 109303 0 0 2067819 0.94710 0.96990 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 778180 580 106066 44650 840176 868873 600 -91293 778180 790542 31134 72197 25000 868873 740484 9334 68724 28000 790542 544647 117446 78391 740484 false false false 231731 231731 4193402 1035430 3157972 780275 634890 145385 3535088 X Part X : FIN48 Footnote As of December 31, 2023, the Museum has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
