Where your gift goes
Straight into the ground, and then into the walls
Proceeds from project events, generous donations, contributions and gifts fund Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Falkner Heritage Community Center Project.

-

Ahead — Funding needed
Completion & Fit-out
Continued funding resources will be needed for further construction — the kitchen, restrooms, interior and mechanical work.
Six ways to help
Not every contribution is money
Dedicate a bench or streetlight
The wooded grove is ringed with donated, personalized metal benches and streetlights, each given in someone’s name. Call 662-587-4067 to ask about dedicating one.
Bid on Phase 2
Builders and contractors: the Town of Falkner is taking estimates for framing and roofing. Plans are approved and may be viewed at the Town Hall. Call 662-512-8048.
Come to an event
The Fall Festival Car & Jeep Show, Founders Day, the Quilt Expo — park events are fundraisers, and one of the ways this project gets built. Also the best afternoon you’ll spend in Falkner.
See what’s comingVolunteer a day
Setting up for events, keeping the grounds, staffing the museum, cataloguing photographs. If you have a Saturday, there is something to do with it.
Share what you have
Photographs, school records, store ledgers, depot memorabilia, family stories. The museum was built from what people brought in — and it is still being built that way.

Thank you
Many thanks to all of you who have been, and continue to be, a part of this project. Without your continued support we fall short of our goal to complete the Falkner Heritage Community Center.
We believe this project is valuable to the wellbeing of the Town of Falkner, the community, and our next generation. We also believe that the generosity of the people of Falkner can bring this project to completion.
“May our Lord continue to direct us as we strive to make Falkner, Mississippi a memorable spot in North Tippah County, and make you proud to be from Falkner, MS.”
