Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Engaging the community, residents and visitors alike, in local history is a monumental task, especially for a community that has seen such extensive increases in its population over the last few decades. Preservation (rehabilitation) and interest are easily seen among those who understand the value of local history, but spreading the word, informing, inspiring and involving everyone continues to be a priority.
