Annual Appeal 2020

Picture
                    You can give our past a future!
 
I am hoping that you will make a special year-end gift by midnight on December 31st.
 
Your support is more important than ever! Several of our major fundraising events including our Gala and Holiday House Tour had to be canceled – and the future for early 2021 looks increasingly uncertain. We need your help!
 
It’s because of donors like you that we can offer free educational programming for children and adults. This summer, we transitioned our summer camps into virtual educational experiences, reaching 62% more campers and expanding our outreach into four Maryland counties and Washington, D.C.
 
Your gift helps to preserve thousands of beautiful artifacts for future generations, including the ones on display in our current exhibit Unpacking Laurel’s Past: 150 Years on Display.  Even behind doors closed by the coronavirus, these items can be seen online through our virtual “One Take Tours.” These objects tell the stories of life in Laurel then and now – like the restored class photograph of the “colored school on West Street.”
 
Your donation ensures that our books, photographs, objects, and manuscripts are protected inside the historic 1840s millworkers’ building – and available free through our online catalog!
 
 
We all are facing difficult times right now. But donating to the Annual Appeal keeps these exhibits and programs free, expanding, and available to adults and children of all ages and abilities. We will be able to continue the current exhibit into 2021, including expanded displays on our community’s response to the pandemic and protests for social justice.
 
We offer a learning experience on the history and cultural heritage of Laurel that you won’t find anywhere else -  Just ask the families that had fun during our Archaeology Dig!! But we can’t do it alone.
 
Your gift of $100 will help the Historical Society so that we can continue to serve our community through the days ahead with outstanding programs, unique resources, and fantastic experiences.
 
 
YOU can help preserve Laurel’s past for the future!  Won’t you make your annual gift right now? Click here! to make your best gift before December 31st.
 
Thank you for being a Friend of the Laurel Historical Society!
