The History Center in Tompkins County

Home
Giving Tuesday

As we near the end of the year, the whole team here at The History Center is filled with gratitude for the incredible community that supports the preservation of our shared history. It takes an entire village - and we're lucky to count so many wonderful and impactful people as part of our village!

During 2023, gifts at all levels made a difference for our work. Your support made sure we could purchase top of the line preservation materials to save artifacts, pictures, maps, and so much more. Now, we can guarantee that all of it will be saved for your grandchildren... and for much, much longer! Your generosity also meant we could offer free programming for our community, so that we could explore our past and present together. Finally, contributions this year made sure that everyone continues to benefit from free, hands-on, research support and guidance.

A $50.00 gift from David D. purchased an archival quality textile box to preserve hockey jerseys from the Shooting Stars - Ithaca's first formal women's youth hockey team!

A $100.00 gift from Hellen M. bought field trip supplies for a record number of time-traveling grade schoolers who visited the 8 Square Schoolhouse in 1892.

A $500 gift from Donna B. funded a free Corn Husk Doll workshop with Penny Minner (Seneca) exploring traditional Haudenosaunee art and craft.

We also accept online donations through Paypal, which you can access through the button below!

We still accept gifts the old-fashioned way! If you feel more comfortable supporting local history via check or cash, your contribution will continue to make an important difference to our misison.
