History Matters
Preserving local history is vital to understanding our roots and shaping a strong, connected community. The Shelby County Historical Society protects this heritage by collecting artifacts, highlighting historic landmarks, and sharing the stories of those who shaped our region.
The Ross Historical Center and Wallace Family Learning and Innovation Center offer a space to explore and learn from our past. History goes beyond names and dates, it reflects the values, struggles, and achievements that define us.
As a nonprofit, the Society relies on community support to host events, create exhibits, and provide educational programs. If you are passionate about history, please consider donating or becoming a member. Your support ensures that our local stories are preserved for generations to come.
