The people who keep it running.
HHAHS is led and sustained by people who care about the Conklin collection and the history of the Hanover-Horton area. Board members provide the stewardship; volunteers bring the knowledge, craftsmanship, hospitality and research.
Portraits and short biographies are still being gathered and will appear here as they are approved. In the meantime, here are the people who serve.

The many hands behind the work
Beyond the board and its committees, the society runs on volunteers.
Volunteers restore instruments, care for the collections, host museum visitors on Sunday afternoons, tend the Heritage Park grounds, run events, and keep the newsletters and office correspondence moving. Their time and knowledge are the reason this history stays active and accessible — and there is always room for more.
