Jason Illari
Executive Director
I serve as the director of the Society, working closely with the Board of Trustees to guide the Society’s vision and plans. I am the primary contact for inquiries related to grants, estate planning, personnel, and official HSCC business matters. One thing I love about Carroll County is the amazing people I interact with daily!
Laura Bankard
Outreach and Events Director
Hi! I am your main contact for Society inquiries related to education, membership, tours, volunteering, special events, rentals, shop and marketing! Have a cool partnership idea to share? I can help with that too. My favorite thing about Carroll County is the sense of community and how local organizations and business work together for the common good.
Stephanie Eckard
Collections Manager
I am the person to contact if you have questions about our object collections or if you would like to donate an object like a painting, chair, or hat! Have photographs or documents you which to share or donate? Call my colleague Kyle for those items and he will be more than happy to help you! I love all our towns in Carroll County and the amazing people that make them thrive!
Kyle Wichtendahl
Archivist & Library Assistant
If you have an inquiry related to research, our history journal, or our extensive photograph and manuscript collections, please do reach out to me! Have a cool antique, quilt, or sword you wish to donate? Contact Stephanie for those items and she will be thrilled to help you! I have come to truly appreciate how Carroll County’s history helps us understand U.S history in so many unique and fascinating ways.
