Please choose the CCHS among the recipients of your generosity. Your gift is 100% tax deductible and an essential contribution to our annual operating expenses.  

The CCHS collects, preserves, interprets and presents the history, heritage, and culture of Columbia County, New York, and serves residents of all eighteen Columbia County towns and the City of Hudson. For more than 100 years, thousands of people from all across Columbia County and beyond have enjoyed our varied exhibitions, historic properties, and educational programs. History lays the groundwork for strong, resilient communities; our identity is based on our history, heritage and culture.
​

Your generous support helps us maintain and staff our research library, preserve our historic properties & collections, and continue our quality programming such as education programs and lectures for adults, educational field trips for school children, public tours and exhibits.  As a private non-profit, we receive no operations funding from the state, nor any federal funds; so while our mission is great, so is our challenge.
Your support has helped establish us an important anchor in the county.

Thank you for your ongoing support! Your gift to CCHS is 100% tax deductible and endorses the valuable work we do -- Every dollar helps!
 
Founded in 1916, the CCHS is a cultural anchor in the county, while publishing an award-winning scholarly magazine, and producing ongoing lectures and exhibitions. A vital community resource, our research library holds important and unique maps, photographs, genealogical materials, as well as other archival material relating to Columbia County's heritage and culture. Join us as we continue our second hundred years of preserving and interpreting Columbia County history and culture. 

There are no goods and services associated with a charitable gift to our annual appeal.  CCHS will not share or sell a donor's personal information with any other party, nor send donor mailings on behalf of other organizations.
