Our goals are to raise funds and membership to aid in the project. Tax deductible donations can be made to Hungarian Settlement Historical Society (or HSHS) and mailed to P.O. Box 1909 Albany, La. 70711. All donations will be used for the restoration project. Donations to our museum restoration fund are tax exempt. Contact us for more information.
