As we approach the half way mark of our campaign, we are so excited to see that we have met half of our match! Thank you to our first matching donor for your support of RCHS and local history, and thank you to everyone who has donated to the campaign so far!
We have about $80,000 left to raise to meet our full match! So we encourage you to donate whatever you can. Remember every donation is matched dollar for dollar! These funds will help us develop new exhibits, expand programming, and give us the resources to give our collection the care and preservation it deserves!
In 1926, the local DAR chapter and the d Settler’s Society merged to form the Rice County Historical Society. Since then we have grown from a small room in the county courthouse to maintaining 8 buildings with partners and chapters across the county. As we approach our 100th Anniversary, we look to the future of how we can continue to discover, collect, preserve, and share Rice County history.
We have been challenged to match $200,000 for a new Centennial Endowment. This fund will help ensure RCHS is able to afford new programs, events, exhibits, and more in the coming years. We invite you to support your local history, join the challenge, and help us beat the match!
