We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and your donation is tax deductible.
Donations make a difference!
Any donation to the CCHS helps us continue protecting two of Coggon's historical buildings; the Clemons House (1887) and the Historical Hall (1898).
Our next project/s will be removing 40+ year old wallpaper at the Clemons House and either replacing wallpaper or painting the walls. This project will be done in phases. Phase 1 estimate is $4,800+.
Your donations to our Coffee Shop, Bake Sales, Suppers, Holiday Desserts, and Historical Hall Rentals support our efforts to maintain the Clemons House and Historical Hall for many generations to come. THANK YOU!
