Mason County Research Center

This state-of-the-art facility provides unprecedented access to a wealth of historical documents, photographs, and artifacts, making our extensive archives available to researchers, students, and the general public. The Research Center not only preserves our past but also serves as the welcome center to the history of Mason County. Visitors can engage with history through behind-the-scenes tours, genealogical research, historical programs, and museum ticket sales.

 

Since its opening, the Research Center 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 Research Center. 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 Research Center.

We seek to raise $400,000 to cover the remaining costs of the Research Center's creation, a significant project totaling $1.7 million.
