What Stephenville Historic House Museum does
Mission
The stephenville historical house museum collects, preserves, and exhibits artifacts, archival materials, and photographs that illustrate the early history and continuing development of the cross timbers area. The museum provides a unique environment for the education of the community at large, a special place for engaging visitors in an ongoing dialogue about the past. The museum limits its acquisitions to items that it can adequately preserve and exhibit and such items deemed worthy by the museum.
As stated on its FY2019 Form 990.
Program
Approximately 7,500 visitors came to the museum grounds for tours, weddings,receptions, and numerous private and commercial shoots. Visitors were from the local area, cities from around the lone star state as well as more than 1 dozen states and several foreign countries.

We had numerous groups of thirty or more home schooled kids and their families learn of our special ways of bringing history to life and making it fun. Community groups such as the stephenville study club, twentieth century club, daughters of the republic of texas and the sons and daughters of the americal revolution, just to name a few, still make the museum their place to hold their meetings, luncheons, and award ceremonies.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $99k to $163k (+65%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2018 51% · 2019 60%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of STEPHENVILLE HISTORIC HOUSE MUSEUM’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of STEPHENVILLE HISTORIC HOUSE MUSEUM's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $213 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
