How to Donate

The Port Hope Area Historical Society is a 509(A)(2) nonprofit organization. Donations may be tax-deductible. Its goal is to tell the stories of the upper Thumb from the lumbering era forward.

All labor is volunteer. Your donation will go to needed materials and supplies to restore and maintain this amazing space.
