The Society continues cataloging the Society’s collection of historic artifacts and documents. Data on each item in the Society’s collection is being assembled, reviewed, and prepared for entry into PastPerfect, our state-of-the-art museum software.

Would you like to “adopt” an item in our collection? Volunteers are still needed to collect, review, and organize the data for one or more objects. Give her a call at 463-5767.

This page will soon include a complete searchable database
