Thank you for your continued support of the Columbia County Historical Society. The best part of 2022 was seeing you!
Opening the historic properties, engaging with the community, and offering in-person events was truly the hallmark of the year and we couldn’t have done it without your support.
CCHS is the largest historic organization in Columbia County. Memberships and individual contributions, like yours, account for over eighty percent of our operating income. Your gifts ultimately allow us to maintain our historic properties and collections, and to continue our mission to collect, preserve, interpret, and present the County’s history and culture.
Please know that we value your passion and support for CCHS and we hope you will give as generously as you can to our
2022 Annual Appeal. No amount is too small. CCHS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization, and your 100% tax-deductible gift makes an essential contribution to our annual operating expense. If you work for a company with a Matching Gift Program, your donation can be multiplied.
I hope you will consider an Annual Appeal donation and thank you for making CCHS a part of your community.
With much gratitude,
