Now, more than ever, we are called upon to make a difference. On Tuesday, May 5, the Great Lakes Historical Society and its National Museum of the Great Lakes will be participating in #GivingTuesdayNow—a global day of giving and unity set up as an emergency response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19.

At a time when we are all experiencing this pandemic, generosity is what brings people together and gives us the power to drive positive change. Although our museums’ physical doors remain closed, through our History From Home initiative we have been substantially widening our “virtual doors” and collaborative efforts to provide online resources to help homebound audiences fight feelings of isolation, along with supporting mission-based, virtual education tools for all ages.

On Tuesday, May 5 we are asking for your help. In order to continue to serve our mission virtually and re-open our doors physically when it is deemed safe to do so—your support is vital. During #GivingTuesdayNow we are asking you to do what you can by:
~
-
- Donating to the National Museum of the Great Lakes
- Sharing your favorite “History from Home” activity, article or video
- And, encouraging your friends and family to do the same via our Facebook event.
Whatever your story, whatever your Great Lakes experience, we are dedicated to preserving it. And, it is only together with your support, that we can continue to preserve and make known the history of our Great Lakes.
