Thank you to all who attended our first Community Open House on October 28th. Several hundred people enjoyed an inside look at the variety and depth of what we offer to the community – exhibit previews, County Archives, library, and photo archive resources, National History Day, school programs, museum shop with hard to find local books, maps and our new fabric line, Young Friends, our new “Feed the Meter” quarter giveaway raffle, upcoming Cultural Center events and to meet the staff, trustees, volunteers and sponsors who make it happen.
Of equal importance, attendees learned about our very exciting $1million matching grant. In May, 2009, an anonymous donor offered to match any contribution to CCHS up to $1 million dollars. CCHS submits a match request once each quarter and the donor will continue to match contributions until we reach our goal of $1 million dollars. For more information about this exciting opportunity and to double your support, feel free to reference the attached information sheet[PDF] or contact us at 610.692.4800 or csmith@chestercohistorical.org
Please enjoy the many reasons why we are regarded as one of the premier County Historical Societies in Pennsylvania.
This website upgrade was made possible entirely through a grant received from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission.
