The Atchison County Memorial Building is owned by The Atchison County Memorial Building Foundation, a non-profit, 501 (c) (3) organization. The renovation of the Atchison County Memorial Building as it is being coordinated by the foundation is planned as a multi-phase project.
A $500,000 Endowment is being established to provide for the annual maintenance of the Memorial. The Endowment may be in the form of money or real estate. In the latter case, the property will be held in perpetuity and only the proceeds would be used for maintenance.
Upon completion of the exterior, the renovation of the interior will be undertaken. These plans include the Museum and remaining first floor followed by the upstairs theater and addition of an elevator.
