It’s true that nothing happens without help from a community that cares. Our dedicated tour docents, living history program volunteers, and HEARTS Happening event volunteers are the backbone of every accomplishment HEARTS has achieved to preserve and share local history. These passionate, creative, and generous members of our community continue to inspire the mission of HEARTS in all of us.
The HEARTS Circle
Our collaborative achievements wouldn’t be possible without the support of our HEARTS Circle members.
Thanks to the resounding appreciation of our members, event guests, and donors, it’s clear HEARTS is onto something incredibly special.
Please share your desire for preservation, lifelong learning, history, genealogy, restoration, nature, and the arts with us and join HEARTS Circle, today.
Let’s make a difference together!
