Overview

Mission

Presentation and preservation of historical information and artifacts regarding the Clark Mills community and the surrounding area.

What it reported doing in 2025

We have implemented a program for digital archiving. We have had monthly meeting that present programs of historical interest for the community and our members. We have prepared newsletters, twice yearly, to be sent to all members. In addition, we have been working with a local coalition to help in community disaster preparedness efforts for our small hamlet. We have also had a booth at local events to educate the community on the efforts of the Historical Society
