SCHS IS FOUNDED

Since 1964 the Volunteer Fire Department has managed the community buildings, land, services, and even community social events. In an effort to allow the Fire Department to focus on its mission, the Historical Society was created in 2014 to take over some of these other activities. A group of residents with common interests were the charter members of the Society.
