Mission

To educate the public about local history by presenting programs, operating and staffing a local history museum and library, and publishing local history literature.

What it reported doing in 2025

Local history museum. Expenses include salary and payroll taxes for museum director, office supplies, exhibit supplies and expenses. Revenue includes admissions to museum and programs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Investment-supported. 80% of the money available for current operations came from recurring investment income.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
