2026 has gotten off to a great start!
- Our Giving for Good fundraising campaign was a HUGE success! Thanks to so many generous donors and matching funds from the Douglas County Community Foundation and the Friends of Baldwin City Public Library, OVER $10,000 was raised! We deeply appreciate your support!
- Keep reading for information about our first “Our Local History” events for the year.
- Finally, membership/support of our organization information is provided. All our events are free to the public. We also maintain 7 historic sites. Memberships help provide the funds for these activities and help us as we strive to preserve and share our local history with others.
