Support History in Washington County
What happens if the history of Washington County has nowhere to live?
For 125 years, the Washington County Historical Society has preserved the letters, photographs, and artifacts that tell our community’s story.
But today, that history is at risk.
A $40,000 grant we were awarded last year was suddenly rescinded due to federal funding cuts, creating a serious budget shortfall. Without immediate support, we may have to reduce programming, limit access to our archives, or even consider reducing operations.
To ensure our history remains protected, we’ve set a goal to raise $125,000 in honor of our 125th anniversary. Help us reach our first milestone—$25,000 by April 15—by making a gift today.
