The Historical Society of Washington County recently joined national online fund raising efforts by becoming a Museum Partner with ShopforMuseums.com. Partnering with hundreds of museums, historical societies, parks, zoos, aquariums and science centers across the country, ShopforMuseums.com serves as a means to raise much needed money to support operating costs at these facilities. Anyone who shops online can have a portion of their purchase donated to the Historical Society of Washington County with no extra cost to the consumer.
Consumers can shop with over 200 national retail merchants including Overstock.com, Ebay, Lands’ End, The Sharper Image, USA Today, Office Depot, Chef’s Catalog, Sears, Hickory Farms and FTD Florists. Even major travel companies participate including Delta Airlines, Orbitz, Easy Click Travel and Enterprise Rent-a-Car.
Participation is simple and secure. To designate a portion of an online purchase to The Historical Society of Washington County, shoppers simply go to www.ShopforMuseums.com, create an account and log in. Then choose to support “The Historical Society of Washington County, Virginia”. Shoppers click on the link of the store they would like to visit and go about their shopping.
