Evansville Historical Foundation
Preserving the Past for the Future
The Evansville Historical Foundation (EHF) was founded by Alf Thompson with the purpose of preserving the history of Evansville and the surrounding area for current and future generations to enjoy.
EHF maintains offices in the original Thompson family home. The surrounding campus features twelve historic or period replica structures complete with displays, photographs, and artifacts from the area’s colorful history.
EHF maintains archives which provide a wealth of information on the history of Evansville and the surrounding area. The archives are available as a resource for those interested in genealogical research. Whenever you visit the Evansville area, take time to experience all that Evansville Historical Foundation has to offer. You will find it to be a unique experience and time well spent.
The Evansville Historical Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit institution, and gifts are tax-deductible.
