Sponsorships

For Individuals

There are often special needs of the Society that can be addressed by one-time gifts. Donations from individuals have recently restored the 1805 Latrobe Survey, paid for the cleaning and restoration of the 1759 Mary Brinckle painting, and commissioned new finials for a clock in the collection.

For Businesses

Businesses can support the New Castle Historical Society and local history by becoming a sponsor for our annual fundraising events: our winter fundraiser, spring garden party and fall annual appeal campaign party.

Preservation Projects

Sponsorships are also available to support major preservation work on the Amstel and Dutch Houses. An example of a recent preservation project is the restoration of the 1738 chimney and fireplace in the Amstel House kitchen. The fireplace project was funded in part by Port to Port International of Wilmington, Delaware.

Upcoming projects that are ideal for corporate support include:

-         Archaeological investigation of the Dutch House lot

-         Interior plaster and painting of the Amstel House based on a previously completed historic paint analysis

-         Paint analysis of the Dutch House interior to determine its historic colors
