The Linn County Historical Museum Trust is kicking off a campaign to raise funds in support of a full-time curator position at Linn County Historical Museum. The museum is a great resource with excellent exhibits, programs, and research material. Museum staff and volunteers have made the museum a great place and would like a full-time curator to join their efforts.

There just aren’t enough hours in the day for current staff to fulfill these goals. A professional curator will help create a plan to reach them. A full-time position will provide a constant presence needed to work with the community and meet their needs. A trained curator has experience in fund raising and the position carries with it professionalism which funders appreciate. In short, a curator will enhance Linn County Historical Museum’s goals of increasing useful services while maintaining the museum’s warm character.
The Linn County Historical Museum believes in long-term support of the museum. Contributions to the Trust are invested. Earnings from the investment fund museum programs. The Trust now holds over $100,000. To provide a permanent full-time museum position, we must increase our investment. The Goal is $250,000!

The Museum Trust is a county wide organization of supporters whose goal is to raise funds for the ongoing support of the museum and the Moyer House. The Trust adds donations to a capital fund, the interest is used for the museum. Thus, the trust ensures the continuation of the museum's efforts.
The trust was formed in 1984 to receive donations and make investments. Earnings from investments help fund projects for the continuing development of Linn County Historical Museum and Moyer House. Last year, Trust funds helped fund the courtyard at the entrance of the museum and to pain the exterior of the Moyer House. Our on-going projects include the Pioneer Plaque and the Oral History programs.
A gift total of $600.00 entitles a donor or group of donors to a pioneer plaque – a most fitting way to pay tribute to an early ancestor. Over the years, 24 plaques honoring pioneer families have been given by the Trust. The Trust has completed more than 130 personal Linn County Oral History Interviews. Those contributing at the “Sponsor” level or higher will have their names engraved on a plaque in the museum.Linn County Museum Friends Inc.
The Friends volunteer time and funds to keep the Museum and Moyer House open, provide brochures and mailings for special events, operate the museum book store, maintain a pioneer resource library, and furnish many supplies for exhibits, operation and upkeep.
Help build a fund to ensure the ongoing operations of LCHM and the Moyer House. A gift of $600 entitles a donor or group of donors to a Pioneer Memorial Plaque. A gift of $1000 by an individual or business will be noted on a wall in the Museum.
To contribute to the Trust Fund send your contribution to 732 Amelia Avenue Brownsville, OR 97327. The trust would be happy to help with bequests. Please call the museum at (541)466-3390 for information.
