The Sullivan County Historical Society was incorporated in 1938. The Society has set as its mission the acquisition, preservation, display and demonstration of those elements of daily life used by the people of Sullivan County. The Society is committed to the preservation of information and artifacts dealing with events and situations, both common and unique to the county, to ensure the availability of historical data for present and future generations.
The Society, personally and collectively, is committed to the education of the people in the county and extended communities of the necessity and significance of preserving and presenting data, artifacts and historical lessons for all people. As the ways and the utilities of the past are the best indicators of progression into the future, the Society aims to preserve and restore elements of the past by the present, to ensure safekeeping for future generations.
