Mission

The Society's mission is to collect, preserve and share the history of the Granite Falls region. We locate, identify, and collect appropriate material, protect and interpret that material, and finally make it available to the greatest possible extent. That includes museum operation, County-wide heritage community involvement, and live and online educational access to our collections.

990 for the year ended December 31, 2025

Program accomplishments

  • MUSEUM OPERATION - Our major expense is the operation of the physical museum. Occupancy, insurance, depreciation, and construction/equipment top the list. Revenue is the admission/donation box. While admission to the museum is free, we received $110,395.41 in donations and grants specifically for museum expansion and equipment, and those are considered revenue here because their use was restricted solely to physical museum improvement. We were open every Sunday in 2025, and opened over 40 times for out-of-town visitors or organizations requesting a tour who phoned in to arrange weekday visits. We received at the end of 2025 a $100,000 bequest to add to our Endowment fund.
    Expenses $11,074 · grants $100,000 · revenue $9,706
  • HERITAGE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT - Our second largest expense is typically our involvement in the county's heritage community, particularly in providing online resources useful for research and/or historic tourism. Online hosting expenses continued throughout 2023, including those for online maps, rural historic cyber-tours, and countywide online museum tours. Some of these expenses are reimbursable by a historic fund and are shown as grants. Timing of reimbursements cause yearly variations. In 2023, we updated and expanded the county-wide online museums tour (and were reimbursed $1,404) We digitized historic County newspapers (and were reimbursed $19,500). We provided historical orientation presentations for several antique automobile touring clubs. We also provided technical instruction to several county genealogical societies who were struggling to improve their organizational technology skills, specifically aimed at helping them in the use of new digital scanning equipment.
    Expenses $13,537 · grants $6,215 · revenue $1,853
  • EDUCATION: We maintain a strong online presence, coupled with a broadly-distributed newsletter. Since we are an all-volunteer organization, our office and IT expenses are focused on continual educational awareness of, and access to, our collection. School class visits for 2025 were done. Hosting a total of 30 class presentation were provided to 3rd grade students. A number of printed pictures and documents were provided to local and online researchers, printing fees shown as revenue. We received a bequest at the end of the year that was directed to our Scholarship program. The donor requested that we specify the funds to go to 2 scholarships every year for a student seeking a STEM related education.
    Expenses $1,600 · revenue $201,377
