Endowment
In order to support the Irvington Historical Society and the Bona Thompson Center into the future, we are working with the Central Indiana Community Foundation (CICF). The kickoff celebrated Paul & Peggy Diebold’s 2021 Irvington Founder’s Award and reflected their desire to create something which would benefit Irvington into the future. Your donation to the Irvington Historical Society Endowment will greatly help to support the museum.
