This re-formed organization is making plans for future guest speakers and projects. At the May meeting, the Historical Society’s mission was adopted as “Preserving our DeKalb County, Tennessee History For OUR Future.”
The Vision for the organization was discussed at length, which includes:
DeKalb County History Museum, where the county’s historical artifacts can be shared with the public;
Digital preservation of the historic documents from the county;
Exploring the possibility of additional Historic Districts to be formed in DeKalb County;
Outreach to Youth and Schools;
Oral History Project – Telling the Story of DeKalb County;
Advocating for Historic Preservation.
If these are some things that interest you, please join us at our next meeting!
