We need your support
Now, more than ever, people are aware that we are living through history. It feels like every day the grinding monotony of quarantine, social distancing, and Covid-19 precautions are met with a new sharp punctuation in the form of some event that we know historians of the future will be studying avidly, both locally and worldwide. This underlines the current and future mission of the History Center: to promote the understanding and appreciation of San Luis Obispo County’s historical and cultural heritage.

The global pandemic has had a major impact on our operations. We were forced to close our Museum in the Carnegie Library AND the Dallidet Adobe, and had to cancel virtually all events after March 6. In July we received some very bad news: The County of San Luis Obispo, due to the economic collapse, has withdrawn from their Subvention Agreement with us, canceling $70,000 in funding that we had anticipated this year.
In view of this crisis, we’re asking for you to show your support for YOUR History Center with a contribution at any level that you can afford. We intend to re-open our facilities AS SOON AS IT IS SAFE to do so, but we need to eliminate our budget deficit and restore our fiscal health as we take all necessary steps to safeguard the physical health of our staff, volunteers, and visitors.
