Current & Past Events

We are proud of our heritage buildings.  They attract the attention of residents and visitors to our community.  Our commitment to developing and maintaining our museum, historical resources and outreach activities.  This requires an extensive input of volunteer hours, donations, and fund-raising support.  Most of our income is raised by community events and activities.
