Mission

The Worthington Historical Society (WHS) creates experiences that inspire and promote public interest in Worthington's history. To preserve the city's legacy for future generations, the Society maintains historic properties, interprets collections, and offers educational opportunities. Founded in 1955, WHS celebrates its 70th anniversary this year. It maintains three properties: the Orange Johnson House, the Old Rectory (home to the Doll Museum, offices, Shop, and collections), and the Jeffers Mound. The WHS collects and maintains items directly tied to Worthington's history providing a repository for the community's collective history and materials; objects, photographs, archives, and first person accounts passed down through many mediums that together form a rich, multi-dimensional picture of the city's past. These collections are maintained for the community's benefit.

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

Highest-paid independent contractors

No independent contractors reported.

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.
