With the help of supporters like you, we have sustained our mission to preserve and share the stories that define our community. This past year has seen tangible expressions of this impact, from the completion of the three-year BOLD project to renovate the History Center parking lot featuring the beautiful new paver patio featuring bricks purchased by donors. Each engraved brick tells a unique story, paving the way for future generations to engage with our shared heritage.

Your generosity has preserved not only the Hubbard House and our History Center, but also the countless artifacts and events that bring Blue Earth County’s history to life. Every artifact we preserve and every event we host are testaments to your belief in our mission. We affectionately call supporters like you “History Heroes” because you are, in every sense, saving history through your generosity.

As of today, BECHS has received $295,000 in financial contributions and public support. This remarkable generosity has strengthened our capacity as stewards of Blue Earth County’s heritage. It will take just $50,000 more by December 31 to close the gap between what we have received and the cost to continue preserving our local history. Every donation, large or small, empowers us to maintain historic sites like the Hubbard House, enhance our archives, and support programs and exhibits that keep the stories of Blue Earth County alive for future generations. Your donation directly impacts our ability to preserve the legacy that binds us together.

History is not just about the past; it’s about the work we do today to build a foundation for future generations. Together, we ensure that the legacy of Blue Earth County continues to inspire, engage, and connect us all. Thank you for standing by us, for being a part of our journey, and for your steadfast commitment to history.
