Great Community Give 2025
Wednesday, April 16th, 6:00 am – 8:00 pm
Preserving the Past, Inspiring the Future
For over 125 years, our mission has always been clear: to preserve, share, and bring to life the diverse histories of the people and places that shape our Harrisonburg-Rockingham community.
Every artifact, every document, and every exhibit holds a story—stories of resilience, innovation, struggle, and triumph. These stories are not just relics of the past; they help us understand who we are today and prepare for tomorrow.
Why Your Support Matters
When you give to Rocktown History, you become part of something bigger. You help open doors to the past, creating meaningful connections that shape the future through discovery, connection, and inspiration for every visitor, researcher, student, teacher, and lifelong learner.
History is not just about what was—it’s about what is and what will be. Rocktown History is a vibrant resource for all, offering free access to research tools, preserving irreplaceable artifacts, and ensuring that our shared heritage remains relevant and accessible.
Help Us Keep History Relevant
Your unrestricted gift today sustains our work, ensuring that future generations can explore, learn, and be inspired. Together, we can continue to protect and share the stories that define us.
