Our Mission

DEL NORTE COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY

MISSION STATEMENT

Our past contains the gifts and guidance of our forefathers; their labors sustain us, their tribulations protect us, and their joys give us hope for a better tomorrow.

Through natural disaster, the passage of time, and the frailty of human life, the voices of our ancestors are being silenced.

To restore those voices and protect our legacy, the purpose of the society shall be to discover, collect, and preserve the documents, structures, artifacts and ideas pertaining to Del Norte County, and to provide suitable museums or homes for such items in order to maintain them as public educational resources.

The Del Norte County Historical Society is committed to making the story of our past part of our community’s present and future.
