Our Adopting an Artifact program ensures your recognition as someone who values and supports our community. Your name will appear on a distinctive artifact label when the artifact is on display and in the permanent artifact record. You will receive a certificate with an image, artifact information, and story to display in your home or office. Give our past a future by adopting at one of the three levels: $5000, $2500, and $1000. For more information and a list of available artifacts, please call Debbie Trueman at 250-753-1821
