The Society is committed to publishing original or out of print publications every two years. Members are invited to attend four meetings a year on various topics of local history given by historians, lecturers and authors. Receptions are held after each meeting for speakers and networking among members. As a non-profit organization, the Society relies upon membership dues, corporate contributions, memorial gifts and book sales for funding. Memberships and gifts are essential to the continued success of the organization because these funds provide a significant part of our operating budget.
All gifts are taxdeductible.
Its Heroes Heroes' Overlook at Riverwalk and 10th Street is a memorial honoring those men and women from our community who have won the Congressional Medal of Honor, the Distinguished Service Cross or Navy Cross. Surrounding this memorial is a Memory Walkway with over 800 bricks inscribed with the names of loved ones, organizations and events to be honored and remembered. It will take approximately 6 weeks for each brick to be inscribed and in place on the walkway. You will be notified by mail when your brick is in place. You will also receive an invitation to the ceremony held each year on Veterans Day when your brick will be dedicated.
