Current Members Council of 1816 Home

The Council of 1816 was formed in 1999 to honor those donors who give $1,000 of more each year to support the many efforts of the IHS. Each year, entertaining programs are provided specifically for this group. Members of the Council have enjoyed a number of events, including the following:
 
  • A musical heritage concert celebrating bluegrass artist Bill Monroe
  • A premier of the Antiques Roadshow television series
  • A behind-the-scenes program about the creation of a special exhibition
  • The Annual Founders Day President's Dinner
 

Funds given by the Council represent nearly 50 percent of all funds raised annually from individuals. These contributions support school programs, collection acquisitions, library services, equipment needs, public programming around the state and the preservation of historic materials.  


Membership in the Council of 1816 not only provides a significant contribution to the IHS, but also gives the donor an IHS membership at the Sustaining level. Your membership in the Council and the IHS is good for one year, beginning the day we receive your gift. Membership cards and information will be sent to you soon after your gift is received.
