The Mission of Paynesville Historical Society
About Us
Through the initiation of the local Lion’s Club, the Paynesville Historical Society was organized on October 23, 1969, as a non-profit organization with the purpose of preserving and promoting the vast historical interests of the community and the surrounding area.
The Society is governed by a Board of Directors who are elected by the dues paying members of the organization. The Board of Directors oversees the annual operation of the PHS, including:
● The collection, recording and storage of local artifacts
● Museum displays, promotions and programs
● Museum budget, maintenance and annual operations
● Fundraising development including membership renewals, donations and grant solicitations
● Policies and procedures
● Capital improvements
