Raise the Roof Fundraiser
Ongoing

HAHA is asking for the community's help to repair our leaking roof. Because of the steep slope of the roof and having to remove three layers of previous roofing, the cost is approximately $55,000, which is a devastating blow to our budget. We hope to continue sharing our area's history by staying open to offer events and programs. 
Ways to donate: 
- Drop off a donation at the museum
- Click the blue DONATE TO HAHA bar on this page
- Write a check to HAHA
- Donate here: https://gofund.me/c8faa249e

Donations of any size are greatly appreciated!

Hermosa Arts & History Association (HAHA), organized in 1999, seeks to preserve our local history; educate our youth; promote visual, written, and performing arts in Hermosa; and involve the community in all of these efforts.
​
We strive to bring together residents of the greater Hermosa area to create a cohesive community based on our appreciation for each other's unique experiences, cultures, traditions, and histories -- and our common humanity.

We are an all-volunteer organization with many active members who live in, or have ties to, Hermosa and eastern Custer County, South Dakota.

As you can tell from our acronym we also have a lot of fun.
