Fundraising Activities

A variety of fundraising programs are employed to keep the Lawrence County Museum financially sound. 

BRAIN GAMES

Brain Games over four nights in May, and Teen Brain Games over two nights in November, promote learning and academic achievement in team-based, head-to-head knowledge competitions. Click for the May 2022 Champions. For pictures from former Brain Games events, go to the Photo Album.

KROGER GIFT CARDS

THIS PROGRAM IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE: The Kroger Gift Card program provided 3% refunds to the Lawrence County Museum of all funds spent by cardholders at Kroger, Jay-C and Ruler stores and gas stations. The cards could easily be reloaded at the stores. Thanks to The Kroger Co. for providing this fundraising opportunity.

HALLOWEEN EVENT

Just before Halloween, our Historic Walk and Haunted Talk event illuminates interesting aspects of our county's history and explores associated paranormal evidence. 

The 2013 Halloween Event was held in Huron.  

On Oct. 25, 2013, about 70 visitors explored the history of Huron, heard about an 1861 troop train crash, the murder of a beloved O & M railroad stationmaster, the gruesome death of a regular lawbreaker. Re-enactors shared tales of what happened at each site. Soup and sandwiches were provided by Huron's WTK Club, and Believe Paranormal presented a short presentation on the strange sights and sounds found at a local Huron bridge.

USED BOOK SALE

The Friends of the Museum have an ongoing used book sale in the museum Meeting Room. Books are priced from $0.50 to $2.00 and all funds raised go to support the museum. There are many books to choose from including current fiction novels, romance, history, sports and children's books.

WALKWAY STONES

Walkway Stones are located on both outside edges of the walkway at the Lawrence County Museum's north entrance, which is conveniently located near the parking lot.  Stones can be inscribed with your name or the name of a loved one or organization. This is a great way for groups, clubs, school classes, etc. to support the museum. 

Brick size stones are $250 and square stones are $500.  The blank stones and inscriptions are provided to the museum without charge so if you are interested in getting a walkway stone, 100 percent of the purchase cost goes to support the museum.  

To purchase a walkway stone, contact the president. Or call Kenny White at 812-278-8575
