A grant was received from the National Trust for Historic Preservation to help with this project. This, together with financial help from many members and friends, Del Webb Corporation, businesses, volunteers and one particular patron has allowed the Society to proceed on the seismic rehabilitation. The Society is currently in the process of moving back into the Gould-Shaw House. Founded in 1968, the Cloverdale Historical Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to local historical preservation and education. It is funded solely by activities sponsored by the Society, its members and its patrons.
Guests are welcome.
It will be open for the Cloverdale Street Celebration on September 9, 2000. Plans are being made for docents to be on hand other days. The life of the Historical Society is dependent solely on memberships, donations, and fund-raising activities. One major event sponsored by the Historical Society is the Annual Fiddle Contest , which draws visitors to Cloverdale from all over the world. The Fiddle Contest takes place in late January.
