Rancho de las Golondrinas outside Santa Fe, NM is this sort of thing, a
living history farm that is a 501C3 which is managed by the family that owns
it." (Mick Woodcock, Curator of History/Living History Director, Sharlot

I believe the Breakers in Rhode Island has caretakers and other people
who were given life use of the mansion by the deceased owner, yet the
site is still a museum. Not quite the same as a for-profit and a
non-profit split, but perhaps they could advise you on some of the
issues they face.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] museum partnerships
A local family has an interest in maintaining a historic farmstead and
is considering becoming a non-profit museum. However, they are also
interested in exploring possible ways in which a for-profit entity (the
family itself) could operate in partnership with a non-profit entity,
that perhaps might own and care for the collection. There are of
course, many complications and it may or may not be an idea worth
pursuing for them. Off the top of my head, I'm unable to think of
any examples of such partnerships and wanted to see if museum
colleagues had any examples to point me too. Ideas and examples?
Thanks for your help.
