Adopt-A- Carousel Horse

The Adopt-A-Horse program helps preserve the historical society’s 1901 C.W. Parker Carousel.

For $100, an interested sponsor selects a horse or chariot on the carousel. Placed near the chariot or horse is a plaque with donor's information and, in the case of a horse, the donor's chosen name for the animal.

The donation period is from January to December annually.

Seventeen horses and four chariots are available for adoption.

Volunteer

The museum would not be able to offer visitors the educational opportunity to EXPERIENCE HISTORY and to preserve the heritage of Dickinson County without volunteers.

You may choose from a number of diverse volunteer opportunities requiring as much or a little time as you desire.

Phone the Dickinson County Heritage Center today at (785) 263-2681 or email
