Donate and Support Our Mission

The Historical Society of Washington County is primarily powered by the efforts of our dedicated volunteer staff. We rely on the generous support of our members, donors, and visitors to sustain our operations and fulfill our mission. The majority of our funding comes from membership dues, monetary donations, and sales at our museum gift shop and online store. These vital financial resources are used to cover the day-to-day operating costs of our research library, maintain our archival collections, and undertake critical preservation projects.

By donating to the HSWCV, you are directly supporting our work to collect, protect, and share the rich history of Washington County and the surrounding region. Your contributions, no matter the amount, go towards cataloging new acquisitions, digitizing fragile documents, caring for irreplaceable artifacts, and making our historical resources more accessible to the public.

We wholeheartedly appreciate any donation you can provide, whether it's an annual membership, a gift donation, or volunteering your time and expertise. Every bit of support helps us continue being an educational resource and community hub committed to celebrating and preserving the unique heritage of our local area. Thank you for your generosity!
