Giving Campaign

In connection with their fundraiser, the Historical Society is also in the middle of its 2019 Annual Giving Campaign. During this financial year, the History Center has focused on brightening up their property with repaired front shutters, landscaping, and an upcoming new roof expected to be installed in September.

As a 501(c)3 non-profit, any donations made to the museum’s Annual Giving Campaign are tax-deductible.

The museum relies completely on memberships, tours, and donations to continue its operations and does not receive any federal, state or local funding. Please visit www.clintoncountyhistory.org to give or mail donations to PO Box 529, Wilmington OH 45177.
