The Morrison County Historical Society's continued existence depends on its highly-skilled staff. You are able to see their work when you visit the museum, participate in our classes, and conduct research in our archives. However, there’s even more going on behind the scenes that guests don’t see!
Each day our staff is busy…
- Writing grants for programming and building improvements
- Doing research for articles and exhibits, as well as for researchers who can’t make it to the museum
- Maintaining the museum website
- Sorting and cataloguing museum collections
- Bookkeeping tasks including tax filing and bank reconciliation
- Taking classes to improve their skills
- Forming and maintaining professional relationships with other organizations
And so much more!
MCHS currently has three full-time employees, but we’ve got enough work that could easily keep five or six more employees busy preserving and sharing our county’s history!
Our Operating Reserve acts as a cushion for staff costs. Every donation helps grow that cushion and assures that MCHS can continue bringing you the local history you love.
Any amount that you can give is greatly appreciated!
