Message from the President

It's no exaggeration to say that 2009 is history. For many of us, that's good news as we're glad to see it gone with foreclosures, unemployment, and the melting dollar. For the Duneland Historical Society, however, 2009 was a good year. Membership is strong, we are fanancially sound, our programs have been well recieved, and (I hope you all agree!) our dinners were delicious. But I think there are many more people in our community who would enjoy our organization and our programs and we are the best advocates of it. So at the next meeting, pick up a "New Member" brochure at the front desk and pass it along to a friend along with a flyer of upcoming programs. Spread the word! Happy New Year.

Beverly Shores was a hit!

The March meeting was a huge success!  We spent the evening learning about the town of Beverly Shores from Carl Reed.  Reed spent the evening relating tales of how the town was first started through the work of developer Frederick H. Bartlett and his original concept of a resort community.

Come join us for our next meeting April 15 at 7:30 p.m.  This is also our dinner meeting for DHS members.  The dinner will begin at 6:30 p.m. 

The program will be presented by South Shore Railroad historian and artist Mitch Markovitz who will spend the evening talking South Shore Railroad history with us, and will also have some of his famous posters available for viewing and purchase.
