To assist us in our review, please fully describe your proposed donation by including information about its size, condition, content and historical significance.

Charitable Donation:
Your gift of any size combined with others can make a difference in the operation of the museum. The LCHS receives no funding from either the City or County of Leavenworth and therefore depends on private donations to satisfy day-to-day operational expenses of the museum, thereby ensuring the on-going preservation efforts of Leavenworth County history.Seriously consider making a charitable, tax-deductible donation to the museum for these operational expenses. Such a donation could also be in the form of a memorial or endowment for a loved one, a bequest in your will, a gift in the name of a friend, or as a contribution from a club you are a member of.
Volunteer:
Volunteers are the back-bone of the successful operation of the museum and the Carroll Mansion is always in need of volunteers.
