Meeting our mission is made possible by generous contributions of time and funding. Foothills Historical Society is fully non-profit. All funds raised through giving, membership and grants go directly towards our work.
Why is becoming a member important?
Since its founding, Foothills Historical Society and Museum has been run by volunteers and funded by memberships, donations, and small targeted grants. This has enabled the Society to remain financially stable through the economic hard times.
FHS has an agreement with the City of Buckley for long-term use of the main museum building and the park land with the logging camp. Per that agreement there is no admission fee to the museum or the logging camp. The museum offers information and maps to visitors at no charge. The agreement has been expanded to include use of parts of Buckley Hall for a business office, library and archives, aka The Heritage Center.
If everything is free, what is the benefit of joining?
FHS is managed by an elected Board of Directors of 4 officers and 3 directors in accordance with its non-profit status. Any member is eligible to be a board member. Board meetings held in Buckley Hall on the first Monday of each month at 11 AM are open to the public. Volunteers who attend these meetings regularly may qualify as board advisors.
The volunteer Curator and other Committees handle the museum collections, archives, events, and maintenance. Meetings are open for anyone to attend. Members have a voice in planning the future of the Society as a whole. Members and non-members can submit an idea, concern, event, or topic for open discussion. The Board and Museum Curator take those ideas and develop plans to implement them. The mural on the outside wall came out of one such discussion.
Buckley Hall is reserved every 2nd Thursday for special events or meetings.
The VILLAGE VOICES publication is is sent 3 times a year first to members via email or snail mail. Then it is offered to the public via this website and Facebook.com/foothillshistoricalmuseum
