LOGAN COUNTY HISTORY CENTER 0.25 MILL LEVY

The Logan County Historical Society was founded in 1945 by a group of Logan County residents who saw the need to preserve priceless artifacts and local history. Over the years, the Society continued to grow and operated by donation only. In 1995, a small operating levy was passed to help with operational and maintenance needs.

​

Our motto has always been “It costs so little to save so much”. The Historical Society’s 0.25 Mill levy will be on the May 2025 ballot for renewal. A property valued at $100,000 will pay less than $10.00 per year.

We are truly thankful for the support Logan County has shown the Historical Society by continuously passing our levy. Your YES vote will help the Logan County History Center continue to preserve and share the great history of Logan County.

WHY DOES THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEED LEVY MONEY?

  • Your financial support is needed for the daily year-round operation of the Historical Society/History Center.

  • Allows the History Center to be open seven days a week between office and museum hours.

  • Employ one full-time Curator/Director and four part-time staff members.

  • To help with special restoration and repair projects to the History Center, including the beautiful 119-year-old Orr Mansion.

  • The increasing cost of facility operations and the maintenance for the Transportation Museum, Logan County Museum, and the Orr Mansion.

  • Educational programs for our schools including museum tours, field trips to Logan County landmarks and homeschool history classes at the museum. Over 1,000 students visit the museum each year.

  • Special community events such as Halloween KidFest, themed open houses, special exhibits, guest speakers, programs, and our Christmas open house.

  • Outreach programs with local schools, organizations, and community events. We also have monthly programs at Green Hills and the Homestead at Logan Acres. These outreach programs allow us to share the incredible history of Logan County with thousands of people each year.

  • Preserving irreplaceable artifacts, photos, documents, and other historical items for future generations to learn about and enjoy.

  • Our Archives department houses thousands of photos, newspapers, maps, history books, and documents. We assist anyone researching Logan County history, people, events or properties.

HOW WILL LEVY MONEY BE USED IN THE FUTURE?

  • Levy money will continue to be used for daily operations and maintenance of the History Center.

  • Allow the facilities to be open year-round and employ professional staff.

  • Continue with our many outreach programs including the Third Grade Field Trip grant program, historical markers, and much more.

  • Publish new publications about Logan County history.

  • Provide the financial support needed to preserve and maintain the rich history of Logan County for future generations to learn about and enjoy.
