The Historical Society collects, preserves, and interprets the material and cultural history of our county. The museum itself features more that 1,000 photos from the society's world-class collection, as well as priceless artifacts. Outdoors, the award-winning gardens showcase mature boxwood, a terraced shade garden, an herb garden, fully established perennial beds, and fruit and flowering trees. A retail and consignment shop offers both antique and modern housewares and accessories so visitors can take some history home with them.
