All of the efforts of the society are centered on helping our citizens appreciate and learn from our history so we can build a great present and future for ourselves and descendants.

We have lots of community activities - some of them at the museum, some at other locations. Right now, we are working with our local garden club to create a Victorian planting to complement our Sheriff's Residence and Jail. Our historic log cabin will be outfitted with historically appropriate displays by Log Cabin Day in June 2006.

In 2005, we had the historically certified Sheriff's Residence tuckpointed to preserve the original brick walls.
