Make a donation today
About 40% of the Historical Society’s fundraising income comes from donations. The support of our donors makes it possible to bring local history stories to over 10,000 people per year. There are several levels of support, all of which are important to the success of the Historical Society.
Leadership Circle $1,000
Members of the leadership circle have donated $1,000 or more to the Historical Society in a given year. We hope that members of the leadership circle will continue to give at that level from year to year.
Tavern Keepers $300
The Tavern Keeper donation is based on the cost of operating the Wyman Tavern historic house museum for one week
By making a $300 Tavern Keeper donation, you will join a group of people who make a big difference for the stewardship of the Historical Society’s buildings and its financial health. You will be invited to a special event, and you will be recognized in our newsletter and annual report.
Fifteen years ago, the trustees of the Historical Society of Cheshire County created the “Tavern Keepers” to raise funds for the maintenance and operation of the Wyman Tavern Museum. The Tavern Keeper contribution was based on the cost of maintaining and operating the Wyman Tavern for a week. In 2007, fifteen people became Tavern Keepers. Since then, the building needs have grown with the addition of the Bruder House to the Wyman Tavern campus, and the number of Tavern Keepers has grown to 71 in 2021.
