BRIEF HISTORY OF FREDERICK COUNTY

 

 


ANNUAL APPEAL

The Historical Society of Frederick County conducts an Annual Appeal Campaign each year. Through this campaign members and friends of the Historical Society have the opportunity to make a fully deductible contribution in support of the programs and services of the organization. The Annual Appeal is one of the organizations most important fundraising efforts each year. Although the Annual Appeal Campaign is held in the fourth quarter of each year, contributions toward this year's campaign are accepted at any time.

Our 2010 Annual Appeal Campaign goal is $18,000
