The new Backyard Ecology Hall will enhance hands-on learning experiences while focusing on Central Texas ecosystems and making strong, exciting connections to current Baylor University research. Help us engage our community and inspire life-long learning!

Your support helps the Mayborn Museum feature exhibitions and create programs that allow the Waco community and Baylor University to engage with historic events, explore scientific discoveries and enjoy interactive learning opportunities in Central Texas.

This fund will honor Ellie Caston's leadership as Director of the Mayborn Museum and provide necessary resources so that future directors can carry on the momentum of her work, providing greater assistance to underserved populations through transportation costs, the Free Sunday Program and other services.

Gifts to this excellence fund increase our ability to host exquisite exhibitions and speakers, research the historic significance of pieces in our permanent collection and obtain artwork that sets our museum apart and introduces students to a variety of techniques and genres.
