Planned Giving

One of the goals of Hattie Anderson when she started the Panhandle-Plains Historical Society in 1921 (that eventually led to the opening of the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum in 1933), was the collection of stories. Nearly 100 years later, that remains the goal of PPHS. We get the privilege to tell stories, but the stories we get to tell are not just any stories, they are your stories and those of your friends and neighbors. Artifacts, exhibitions, programming, and education are not complete without your story. Your gift allows us to use stories of the past, to create moments in the present, to impact the future.
