Join Us

The Historical Society of Plainfield must raise funds each year to restore and maintain the Drake House Museum; conserve the collections of furniture, decorative arts, and textiles; and host public education programs for adults and schoolchildren. We need your help.
We rely upon a variety of income sources and, while our volunteers perform many functions at the Museum, the need for funds to purchase materials and make necessary repairs is of paramount importance. 
Gifts from individuals, foundations, and small businesses really do make a difference. We'd be honored to add you to our list of supporters. The Historical Society of Plainfield is a registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit organization.  Donations are 100% tax deductible to the extent allowed State & Federal Tax codes law.
