Re-formed in 1966 in anticipation of the City's centennial, the Highland Park Historical Society is dedicated to being the primary custodian of the community&rsquo;s shared heritage.

<ul><li>Educational Outreach:
Throughout the year, the Society hosts lectures and educational events at their historic sites, such as the Stupey Cabin (Highland Park&rsquo;s oldest standing structure), and throughout the wider community. They also conduct Educational Field Trips and provide Teacher Toolkits by appointment, making local history accessible to students and educators.</li><li>Local History Collections:
This collection documents the distinct, diverse community of Highland Park and its inhabitants. It includes government records, organizational records, family interviews, personal papers, correspondence, and extensive photography collections, as well as maps. These invaluable resources are maintained and made available in both digital and physical formats, serving as a critical community collaboration tool.</li></ul>
The Highland Park Historical Society exhibit is located in the bank lobby and will be open to the public during regular business hours throughout the month of December.
