Historical Societies
Historical societies and non-profits are dedicated to researching, interpreting, and preserving local history. There are historical societies and dedicated non-profits all over the state with many being associated with museums. A great way to become involved is to ATTEND an event or lecture, VOLUNTEER your services, and INVOLVE your family and friends with learning about and preserving local history.
ATTEND- historical societies and non-profits hold lecture series, organize reenactments of events, provide interpreted exhibits, lead historic tours, and more.
VOLUNTEER- these societies and non-profits often have little funds to operate with and your skills and time are valuable.
INVOLVE- historical societies and non-profits exist to generate public interest in the preservation of local history. Inviting others to attend events, volunteer their time, and support these organizations is important to their continued existence.
