The History Center is not basically a "museum" or a place where yesterday's artifacts sit mute in dusty corners. Rather, it is designed
to be primarily a living archive-a treasure trove of the records,
the letters, the pictures, maps and books-the thousand and one
records that tell the story of our past.
Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday - 9:00am to 4:00pm
Third Saturday of each Month - 10:00am to 2:00 pm
Also By Appointment
