Give the Gift of History This Year
As we wrap up a wonderful season of events at the Stephenson County Historical Society, we invite you to consider giving a meaningful and lasting gift this holiday season — a Historical Society Membership.
A membership not only supports our mission to preserve and share the history of Stephenson County, but it also provides a variety of benefits for the recipient, including:
• Free admission to tours throughout the membership year
• Invitations to members-only events and programs
• Early access to select museum activities
• Quarterly newsletters and updates
• Discounts on select gift shop items and special events (when applicable)
Memberships run from April through March, and purchasing one now gives your recipient a few bonus months of benefits.
Whether for a family member, friend, teacher, or history lover, an SCHS membership is a gift that continues to give all year long.
To purchase or learn more, call us at 815-232-8419 or stop by during museum hours.
Help us keep our local history alive — one membership at a time.
Thank you members, Volunteers and Friends!
We are officially wrapped up with events for the year, and what a wonderful year it has been! We are so grateful for the incredible volunteers who helped make each event run smoothly, for our generous donors and business sponsors who continue to support our mission, and for every community member who stopped in, toured the museum, attended an event, or shared in our love of local history.
Thank you for being part of the Stephenson County Historical Society in 2025. We cannot wait for everything that’s in store for next year!
