Programs

Our Programs

We invite an understanding of our past, appreciation of the present as we move into our future. Our Historical Society celebrates the lives, hard work and perseverance of those who lived here before us. Respectfully collected and preserved, our archives are a personalized history of our area and range from handmade tools and food gathering supplies, woven cloths or musical instruments and toys.

Research

The Two Rivers Heritage Museum has a research room containing business and industry records, (pioneer) family histories, newspaper clippings and archived copies of the local newspaper, cemetery and funeral records, and thousands of photographs. Contact us if you would like to do some research on your family or other people who lived in the area.

Education

We are entering the next phase of educating our community and region by reaching out to schools, colleges and researchers. It speaks of good will and collaboration with the original native populations and the newcomers who arrived to settled in the mid nineteenth century and beyond.
