Douglas County Historical Society
Mission: The Douglas County Historical Society seeks to enrich lives by preserving local history and making it accessible to our communities and visitors.
Operating funds are raised through membership dues, fundraisers, cash donations, memorials, room rentals, grants, admissions and fees for programs and services. An additional 30% of operating resources come from donated goods and services and 86% from volunteer services.
DCHS is a private, non-profit corporation. The Society does not receive any funds from the State of Nevada and is not a branch of county government. Douglas County museums depend on private funds for direct support.
The Douglas County Historical Society is dedicated to sharing local history by collecting, preserving and exhibiting items of historic significance. We also provide educational programs which relate to the history of Douglas County and Nevada.
The Douglas County Historical Society and its two Museums are a 501-C (3) charity.
The Douglas County Historical Society operates two Museums
