ABOUT US
Our Mission
“To preserve the history of Beverly, using it to educate its citizens and build community.”
The Old Towne Beverly Historical Society grew out of a committee that advised Beverly’s history book, Built on Coal by Lawrence Herzog.
The committee found that the community’s history was not only engaging but that it had instilled a sense of pride in the members.
Inspired by the desire to share this pride in community, the group organized to promote Beverly’s history.
Our intention and desired outcome is:
To preserve the history of Beverly, using it to educate its citizens and build a sense of pride in the community.
Preserve the historical documents, artifacts, and significant landmarks of Beverly and in doing so:
- make historical artifacts available to the public in a permanent form
- contribute to local, provincial, and national history
