The SAHS mission is to secure, preserve, and promote the social and cultural history of the community. To this end we will: educate and engage a diverse public through a variety of programs, maintain our museum buildings, properties, and collections, acquire and reserve additional items of significant relevance; research and publish historic records; identify and encourage preservation of significant places and structures throughout the community; work collaboratively with public, private and other non-profit organizations to attain this mission; and manage the society openly, ethically and professionally.
