As with many historical sites, the Monterey Pass Battlefield relies on contributions and sponsors to conduct daily operations. Interpretive costs, grounds maintenance, and museum artifacts cost more each year. As interest grows in the Monterey Pass story, the demand for facilities, signage, and other means of providing historical education also increases. The FMPB, Inc. Board welcomes any contribution you may consider to assist in continuing this worthy cause. There are many ways to contribute, some of which are memberships and charitable contributions.
