Wish List

Please help us complete the Ozark County Historium!

The sole source of funding for the renovation of the Ozark County Historium is donations from friends like you! We need your help. Any and all amounts are most welcome. All donations are tax-exempt charitable contributions. Please make checks payable to the Ozark County Historium and drop in our donation box, hand to one of the board members, or mail to us at:
P.O. Box 4, Gainesville, MO 65655.


Please consider thoughtfully how you can be a part of this ongoing effort. Here is a list of ways you can help us pay for the work we’ve undertaken. We will be putting together a display of donors to recognize those who have helped us fulfill our wish list by naming the feature they’ve “bought” for us.
