Thank you for considering the Plain Township Historical Society for your artifact donation. Without the community sharing their stories, photos, genealogies, paper items, advertising, school related and other artifacts, we are not able to share the history of Plain Township.

If you are not sure if we are interested in an item you have, please use the contact form or email us at preservingplaintwp@gmail.com to open up a dialogue with us about the item.

If you still want to hold onto an item, we can either scan or photograph the item for our use. This is a great option if an item holds valuable memories and you are not ready to part with the item.

So what are we looking for? This list is not complete and is intended to guide you with your donation. If you have questions if we might be interested in an item, please do not hesitate to contact us. You never know where your item fits into the history puzzle of Plain Township.
