The Daviess County Epsom Alumni group has donated its remaining funds to Our Community Foundation, designating the contribution to the Daviess County Museum Fund. With membership numbers declining, the alumni sought a lasting way to preserve their community’s history. The donation, presented by Rose Ann Morris on behalf of the group, will support the museum’s ongoing efforts to document schools and local history prior to consolidation. The museum fund, established by Bruce and Katie Smith of Washington, is a designated endowment designed to provide long-term support for the institution. Community members may also contribute online at www.localforever.org or by contacting the foundation at (812) 698-5413.
