Dear Friends,
Since 1880, the Crawford County Historical Society has been a leader in preserving our past in Crawford County
in hopes of bettering our future. We follow this mission through programming, publications, and the preservation of
historic properties in Crawford County.
We are excited to start a corporate membership and sponsorship program at the Society in an effort to not only
support the great things you see happening at the organization and our Baldwin-Reynolds House Museum, but to make
sure that you as the business get the most benefit for your sponsorship dollars! I would love to discuss the potential of
having your business as one of our first corporate members at the Society- showing your support in guaranteeing a future
for history, for culture, and for the well being of our community.
On the second page of this letter, you will find the various levels of membership at the Society as well as the
benefit levels for the company at each level. The enclosed brochure will detail the benefits for your designated employees
at the Sustaining Level of Membership.
I would love to talk more about this with you at your convenience! Feel free to call me at 814.333.9882, or simply
fill out the form included with this letter and we will be in touch shortly after.
Warm wishes for great 2016,

New Programs
Both of these programs are on our radar to start in 2016 if funding permits
-Baldwin InstituteThe Baldwin Institute, named after U.S. Supreme Court Justice Henry Baldwin, will be kicking off in 2016 by
bringing arts, cultural, and civic engagement programming to the public in Crawford County PA. Overseen by a
community based steering committee, the Institute will bring topics of historical and cultureal background as
well as those of current local, national and international importance to the forfront of conversation in our area.
These programs will be free or of a nominal cost to cover expenses for the public.
-Crawford County’s 50 Under 50The Society, in an effort to bring a younger generation into the fold to keep the arts, culture, history, and civic
engagment alive for future generations will be starting Crawford County’s 40 under 40. This program will be
half networking in various locations around the county and half programming on historic preservation, (nonpartisan) politics, history, and more! Each event will be open to up to 40 individuals (to allow us to account for
space requirements) all under the age of 40 years old. Part young professionals group, part snacks or
drinks after work, and all history and fun!
