Fifty years later, we are still hard at work, preserving both the John Chads and Barns-Brinton Houses, offering youth and adult education programs, engaging lectures and exhibits highlighting local history. Sponsorship of the Historical Society provides businesses with an ideal way to support a local non-profit organization in a simple and effective manner. Sponsorship identifies your business as a stalwart community advocate and increases your name and brand recognition here in your local market.
