What is the Adopt an Artifact program?
A unique fundraising initiative recently launched by the Aurora Historical Society (AHS), the Adopt an Artifact program allows supporters of Aurora’s historic roots to make a piece of history their own for a one year term. A wide variety of carefully selected artefacts from the Hillary House collection are now available for adoption. Tax-deductable adoption fees begin at $100 per year, or $150 for two. Adoptees will receive an adoption certificate and a photo of their artefact to display in their home, classroom, office or business. They may have their name alongside their displayed artefact in the museum or select one of several other recognition options. On a case-by-case basis, AHS will provide an informative, individualized, interactive session between adoptees and their artefact.
Adopt an Artifact forms part of a major fundraising campaign currently underway. All contributions support the restoration and preservation work of the AHS as well as ongoing creation of new exhibits, programming and community outreach. This is a great way to contribute to the work of the AHS and demonstrate support for the heritage of Aurora.
