Following a complete demolition and rebuilding effort of the original Historical Society building in 2005, the new Heritage Center was dedicated on Veterans Day, November 11, 2005. The new construction included the restoration of a portion of the original ranch house erected in the 1930’s (seen in the front-center of the photograph). The Center includes an archive storage room, the archivist’s office, public restrooms, a small kitchen, and a meeting room.
