DONATE ARTIFACTS - RAHS appreciates the generosity of community members with donations to enhance the Rushford area historical collection. Our organization is working diligently to maintain the integrity of the Rushford area's history and evaluates the relevance of items based on that principle. Please call 507-864-7560 to schedule an appointment to donate artifacts.

VOLUNTEER - Volunteers are needed for a variety of things: organize and clean displays, building maintenance, seasonal (April-October) docents and area guides, and more. Call 507-864-7560 and leave a message if you're able to help.
