Southport Historical Society News

         The Historical Society is now located in our new home, next to the Town Hall at 1135 Pennsylvania Avenue.   We plan to have a monthly Open House starting in March. We will be open on the third Sunday from 1PM - 3PM.  Watch for the sign out front.

         Soon we will be needing volunteers to help with some projects at the Society.   We have a lot to do organizing the files and the records and artifacts. If you would like to help, contact Linda Taft at 732 6565. 

         If you are a member of the Historical Society you should have received a renewal card in the mail.  If you are not a member and would like to join, please contact Linda Taft at 732 6565 or Diana Maher at 733 2660.  We have an exciting year ahead and would love to have you join us.

        The 2012 Calendar ($10) is still available at the Town Clerk's Office.  It is full of interesting information about people and places in our town.
