This state-of-the-art facility provides unprecedented access to a wealth of historical documents, photographs, and artifacts, making our extensive archives available to researchers, students, and the general public.  Visitors can engage with history through behind-the-scenes tours, genealogical research, historical programs, and museum ticket sales.

Since its opening in 2022, the Mason County Historical Society has welcomed thousands of visitors, including students from local schools, historians, and genealogy enthusiasts. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the accessibility and wealth of information available.

Your contribution will help us fully realize the potential of the Mason County Historical Society – Home of the Rose Hawley Archives. Together, we can ensure that this vital resource remains a beacon of knowledge and a testament to our dedication to preserving history for future generations. Join us in making history accessible by supporting the Mason County Historical Society. We seek to raise $400,000 to cover the remaining renovation costs, a significant project totaling $1.7 million in upgrades to this historic building.

We gladly accept one-time gifts and offer pledge options for larger donations to accommodate your giving preferences.
