We’re excited to announce a generous $700,000 donation from the Jones Living Trust to the North Lincoln County Historical Museum! This incredible gift will help fund our preservation efforts, educational programs, and exhibit expansions, allowing us to better serve our community.
This donation is especially meaningful given the Jones family’s deep ties to the museum. Some of you may remember them, both active community members, and early supporters of NLCHM, even helping shape its foundation in the 1980s. Their passion and countless volunteer hours have left a lasting impact on the museum, and we’re thrilled to see their legacy continue.
A big thank you also goes to Peggy and Stephen Shambaugh, whose dedication and support in managing the Jones Living Trust made this gift possible.
We’re so grateful for the Jones Living Trust’s support. This donation ensures we can keep preserving local history and creating valuable learning opportunities for our community. The board of directors is actively working on determining the best way to allocate the funds, to help guarantee a future for NLCHM as a place to celebrate and learn about our local history.
