Join Us

Become a part of Iowa’s rich history today!

At the Iowa Heartland History Connection we are so much more than a museum. When you give to the IHHC you are supporting children’s education, historical research services, community event spaces, and community enrichment programs.

Support can come in many shapes and sizes, but they all make a difference, from membership, funding for exhibits and community engagement that awakens the curiosity of visitors, and giving your time as a volunteer, YOUR support makes a difference.
