From the first bequest received several decades ago, the Allen County Historical Society has been continually enhanced and developed through the generous legacies of friends who chose to remember us in their estate planning.  No gift is too small to help the organization build and maintain its recognized collection, and to make that collection accessible to thousands of visitors each year.

    Numerous options are available to you including the a gift of appreciated securities with a deduction equivalent to a cash gift, but you pay no capital-gains tax on the transfer.  Other options include naming the Allen County Historical Society as a beneficiary of your will, revocable trust, retirement plan or life insurance policy.

    While we cannot provide you with financial or legal advice, we would be happy to meet with you and your advisors to discuss your gift plans.  We’ll work with you to craft a gift plan that best meets your goals and objectives.

    When you’re ready, call us at 419-222-9426.
