About the Fremont Historical Society

To quote a well-known American,  “ it takes a village” and as a charter member of Fremont Historical Society (founded in 1966), and reader of The Fremont Newsletter, this writer can attest that Fremont has and will always qualify as a “village” for whatever cause, need and endeavor arises.  All persons living now in Fremont are or will be part of its history, whether one’s family goes back several generations or has just arrived.

The Fremont Historical Society (FHS) desperately needs “village” help to continue its goals of education through its yearly four program meetings, special projects and events that help to maintain the Historical Museum.  The building belongs to the Town but the interior maintenance, heat, electricity, security and insurance for the collection, is the responsibility of FHS and requires an income of roughly two thousand dollars ($2,000) yearly.  This Museum owes its existence to the dedication (and much work!) of the Town Historian.

Dues, donations and the 2009 Fremont Festival (Fair) have carried these costs to this point but it is time to “refill the till.”  In order to have another fair or similar event at the Museum, requires an update in the building’s electrical capacity as well as a 501 C 3 tax status, the application for which will cost $500.

New members of FHS are needed in any capacity, supporters, strong people for event activities, to raise money and provide fun and thus a “village.”   “Many hands make for light work” and working together is FUN!
