Alexandria Cultural Fund
The Alexandria Cultural Fund was created by a longtime Alexandria resident with a deep love for this community, its stories, its people, and its future. Rooted in a passion for preserving what makes Alexandria special, this fund ensures that the rich history of Monroe Township continues to be celebrated and shared for generations to come.
Through this endowed fund, support is directed to the Alexandria-Monroe Township Historical Society, helping them collect, preserve, and bring to life the artifacts, memories, and stories that define the community. From historic photographs and genealogy resources to treasured collections like Aladdin Lamps and memorabilia from Lippincott Glass, Kelly Axe, and the Union Traction Company, the museum offers a meaningful connection to the past.
Founded in 1979 by a group of dedicated community members, the Historical Society has long been a steward of Alexandria’s heritage. Today, that legacy continues at the museum on North Harrison Street—where visitors can explore local history and discover the stories that shaped this small, vibrant town nestled in the heart of Indiana farmland.
Gifts to the Alexandria Cultural Fund are invested and endowed, creating a lasting source of support that will continue to preserve and share these stories well into the future. It is a powerful reminder that when we invest in our history, we also invest in our identity and in the generations who will carry it forward.
