Help our friends at the Marshall County Historical Society get into their new home.

The past few years for Historical Societies have been tough times. Funding such organizations has always been a challenge but the last few years have been more challenging.

These guys do good work. Help them out.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Link To Donate: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/help-us-move

We are looking to move the Marshall County History Museum! For 30 years, the Marshall County Historical Society has called 301 13th Street home. However, over the years, we have outgrown our building.

With thousands of artifacts from over 400 donors and no storage space, it is hard to host our own events on our property. It is also nearly impossible to be able to fully tell the story of Marshall County and the people who have called it home since before West Virginia even became a state!

Our eyes are set on the historic Bloyd House located at 600 Tomlinson Avenue, directly across the street from the courthouse. We need your help! We have set up a Zeffy fundraiser and hope to be able to use it to help us buy our new home.

What is Zeffy?
Zeffy is an online fundraising site, similar to GoFundMe. Unlike many other fundraising sites, however, Zeffy gives 100% of the donation you give to us! They add a "Zeffy fee" to keep themselves operational, but this is completely optional. You are able to set the amount you would donate to Zeffy to $0!

How To Help?
We appreciate any support you able to provide in order to move the hub of the historical society to the center of town. Because we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, your donations are tax deductible! Donations of $1,000+ will be added to a donor plaque that will be displayed in the new museum.

If you are unable to donate, please help us spread the word! Be sure to share and tell your friends about our mission to better preserve the history of Marshall County!
