AHS Board Endowment Campaign

GOAL: $2 million to strengthen the Board Endowment
The first phase of The AHS Campaign, which was completed in 2016, raised $1 million in capital expenses to renovate the AHS Archive Building. The community celebrated the renovation of the Archive Building with a Grand Opening and Community Celebration, on July 14, 2017 with over 400 attendees.

The second phase of The AHS Campaign will strengthen the AHS Board Endowment. Funds will support educational programming, research positions, and the archive collection into the future, enhancing our mission to enrich our community through preserving and communicating its remarkable history.
