Friends of the Brown County Museum
The History Buffs are dedicated to not only preserving the amazing history of our region, but also highlighting how that history affects us today.
"History is not only important in dealing with the past... it is a guide to the future."
- J. Frank Dobie
By giving annually, the History Buffs provide much needed funds for day to day operations that are not supported by grants. Such gifts help the Brown County Museum of History serve our community by promoting tourism, preserving priceless artifacts, and providing learning opportunities for generations of children and families.
