This is an event like no other that generates community spirit beyond measure! Collectively, giving last year exceeded $8.2 million. That’s the power of collective giving.
During the past 10 years, there has been transformational change on the campus of the History Center. Thanks to you, the mission continues.
We have seen the restoration of the 132-year-old Watson Curtze Mansion, the renovation of the neighboring 166-year-old Wood Morrison House, the creation of a 10,000 square foot archives building and the creation of a new exhibit building which features Frank Lloyd Wright’s San Francisco office.
It’s everyone’s museum and your support sustains the 121-year legacy of the Erie County Historical Society and helps the History Center develop new exhibits, provide educational opportunities for both adults and children, support field trips for students from first grade through college, and maintain the property and buildings. Thank you.
Because of you, students enjoy week-long history camps, hear history lessons at their schools, and see artifacts up close.
Because of you, adults have been on walking and biking tours of historic sites, listened to lectures on historic topics, dined in historic homes, and celebrated under the stars at galas with over 550 people.
Because of you, new exhibits have been developed and designed to attract not only visitors from Erie County but from around the world. We see Frank Lloyd Wright enthusiasts each year from Australia!
Because of you, local residents have learned more about our rich history, determined their place in development of our country, and have a new appreciation and pride in Erie County.
You have helped make this transformation possible. Help us continue the transformation.
Join in the fun!
