History is Here and Now
Dear Friends,
#GivingTuesdayNow is a new global day of giving and unity that takes place today,
May 5, as an emergency response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19.
Your local history museum, the Wilton Historical Society, had been counting on Objects of Desire: Style for the Garden and Home spring fundraising show to carry us through the end of the fiscal year in September. The event was cancelled due to COVID-19, and there is now a gaping hole in our operating budget.
Wilton schools depend on the Historical Society for hands-on history field trips; the museum provides exhibitions, lectures, a book discussion group; and the organization cares for 18 historic historic buildings on three campuses. Providing all this is our joyful mission, but we need your support,
now more than ever.
Please help us survive during these extraordinary times, with a gift of support. We are grateful for any amount – no contribution is too small.
