Museum

Wakulla County Historical Society (WCHS) was created in October 1991. WCHS was created to collect, preserve, exhibit, and interpret the heritage of Wakulla County with the establishment of a local history museum and fostering of publications and exhibits on local history. Twenty-two years later, the Society has made significant strides toward achievement of those goals. We are proud to say that the Wakulla County Museum and Archives is home to WCHS and a repository for local history. With your continued help, we will continue moving forward as we work toward completing the second floor of the Museum and Archives. Plan to come by to see our exhibits, and explore our genealogy suite.

Tax Deductible Contributions any amount great or small is solicited and appreciated! Thank you to those who regularly contribute extra dollars above the dues each year and thank you to those who have made sizable contributions over the years and for the Memorial Contributions that you have made in honor of others. We hope you will keep the Society in mind when you make Memorial gifts.

Citizen Participation

Most important to the Society is citizen support, through membership, gifts, and participation in our activities. Serving on committees, attending our fund-raisers, and making memorials or other donations are all ways to support the Society. Please contact us to see how you can help.

Projects

The Society has many activities in which members can participate. We hope you will put your skills to work for us developing our Museum, maintaining and surveying cemeteries, documenting history in our community, and other activities.

Special Events

Some of the community events in which we participate are listed below. We take advantage of these opportunities to let people know about our organization and to raise funds through the sale of Society items — publications, pens, note cards, mugs, etc. Please come to these events and visit our booth!

Meetings

Regular meetings of the Society are held on the second Tuesday of each month from September through May at the Wakulla County Public Library at 7:00 PM (except the October Annual Meeting held at a local restaurant). There are program presentations at these meetings. Please join us. You need not be a member to attend.
