That concept is about to be elevated to a whole new level. If you drive by the renovation in progress at our museum in downtown Richmond, you’ll see how. Or if you’ve visited the George Ranch Historical Park this past year, you have seen how an open space and ranching heritage is more compelling and welcoming than ever. Or maybe you took in one of our Sunset Music concerts on the front lawn of the Historic Moore Home and enjoyed the combination of music and classic architecture.
The point is, history connects us. And we’re continuing to find new ways to make that happen, whatever the present day brings us. Whether you’ve known us for years or are just discovering us now, you can be part of the story. Our county has so much to be proud of and we have so much to share with each other. In 2021, those stories will be presented and discovered – or rediscovered – in new ways. More than ever, your gifts can help us turn our compelling spaces into even more exciting venues where history, people, and memories come alive — and come together. |

Become a Historian!Join a special group of donors called the Historians, whose monthly gifts will sustain our services without interruption. The Historians care deeply about investing in the Association and do so by contributing small gifts each month through safe automatic credit card or electronic fund transfers. Our goal is to secure at least 300 Historians who feel passionately about making history accessible to everyone and pledge to give at least $10/month for 12 months (that’s only $120 a year).
Individual contributions account for a significant percentage of the operating budget, so giving to the general fund regularly makes an enormous difference in our work. And you would be doing just that by becoming a monthly donor! Gifts to the general fund provide immediate support for the Association’s day-to-day operations. Your contributions ensure that we can keep the lights on, the doors open, the cream fresh, the ant beds treated, the cowboys in boots, the costumes authentic, the cannons firing, and the staff paid for the more than 60,000 visitors that we host annually. |
Please fill out the following form and we will contact you to finish the secure payment process! You can also call 281-342-1256 to set up your monthly donations.
