Donate to Support A Project
When making a donation please select which of the following projects you wish to support in the dropdown menu while checking out.
Frank's Place & General Store
Another project that is in the works is the recreation of a new General Store and Tavern. The current set-up in the Village is not sufficient for visitors’ safe access and the display and protection of the artifacts. Plans are in the works to replicate Frank’s Place (which is where the bar that is currently on display comes from) that was on the square in downtown La Grange. The General Store will also be rebuilt adjacent to Frank’s Place to allow visitors a safer and better experience when touring. Our goal is to raise $80,000.
Endowment Fund
We did it! Thanks to you we reached the $50,000 goal of the challenge grant offered by William Melnar. We continue to accept donations to this fund so that the interest will help pay for the operation of the Center in the future. Any amount will make a difference!
