GIFTS THAT HONOR & REMEMBER

Tribute and Memorial Donations are a heartfelt way to celebrate the life and legacy of someone who matters to you — whether in memory of a loved one who has passed, in honor of a special occasion, or to recognize someone’s contribution to our community and to Mason County history.

“Your generous contributions fund educational programs, maintain historical sites, and create exhibits that bring our history to life. Each tribute and memory donation ensures that our community’s stories and heritage are preserved for future generations.”

When you make a Tribute or Memorial donation, we will acknowledge the gift in writing to the honoree’s family or the person being celebrated — letting them know that someone cared enough to preserve Mason County’s history in their name.

Tribute and Memorial donations join the Annual Fund and support MCHS’s most pressing needs — from educational programs and exhibit development to facility maintenance and preservation projects. Every dollar stays in Mason County, supporting the three sites that serve thousands of visitors, students, and researchers each year.
