The Chaw’se IGR Association is proud to serve as the cooperating association of Indian Grinding Rock State Park. You can support a variety of programs for children and adults—as well as projects that help preserve historic buildings and maintain park facilities.
We are working to enhance Indian Grinding Rock State Historic Park by raising funds that are used exclusively for the benefit of this Park. We are a 501(c)(3) public benefit corporation that generates income through the Book Store at the Chaw'se Regional Indian Museum, fundraising and special events, grants and donations. We value your membership as your donation of time or money helps us reach the goals we renew each year. These goals are to improve the enjoyment, education and natural expierences our park can offer. This year at Indian Grinding Rock State Historic Park promises to be one filled with opportunities to enrich lives through the sharing of our cultural and natural history at this site. We are one of the most important Native historic sites in the state of California. Our park is a living history of the original people populating our area. |
