The Allen County Historical Society is a proud recipient of the Kentucky Historical Society's America250KY Grant Program.  These grants support museums, libraries, historical organizations, and other nonprofits across Kentucky in commemorating 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Our "Digitize the Past for the Future" initiative believes that by modernizing and preserving our collections through technology, we can better share our past.  Through the development of a new website, high-quality digitization tools, and a robust new collections management system, we can better safeguard irreplaceable items, expand public access, and connect residents and researchers alike to Allen County's history. This project not only protects the past, it engages the public in exploring it, ensuring that our shared stories are accessible, searchable, and celebrated for generations to come.
