Huron County Historical Society - Welcome 
The Huron County Historical Society was begun in 1924, but ceased meetings in the thirties – “it lived briefly but died of neglect” according to Gavin Green, a local wag at the time. The Society was reborn in 1964 under the guidance of Susan Muriel Mack, librarian of the Crediton Public Library and strong supporter and contributor to the Women’s Institute movement. Susan became the Society’s first president in 1964.
The purpose of the Huron County Historical Society is to discover, collect, preserve, and perpetuate historical information related to the discovery and settlement of Huron County. A considerable amount of information has been written regarding a few people and events, but most of the story of Huron County has never been gathered together, and some this history has been lost because it has not been recorded. In 1965, the first edition of the Historical Notes was published and it’s annual appearance is anticipated by the Society’s stalwarts and supporters.
The Huron County Historical Society is a non-share, non-profit corporation with charitable status. The organization sustained by membership fees and small grants from the Government of Ontario through the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Recreation.
