The historical context of our lives is fundamental to how the past shapes our community’s present and future. We will be a vital resource for making our common history accessible, interesting and meaningful to all. We will be recognized as the principal repository and resource for the collected history of Fruitland Peninsula. We will advocate for the preservation of historic sites and structures in our community. Our Society welcomes all members of our community who have contributed to or have an interest in this area’s unique history – schools, churches, individuals and organizations representing the contributions of all cultures and ethnicities. Our Mission
Our Mission is to bring together people to discover, promote and preserve the history of the Fruitland Peninsula so that future generations can know and benefit from our rich heritage, cultures, and traditions.
