As part of our celebration and dedication to preserve and honor historical events, the Griffith Historical Society was proud to partner with local schools to plant “Liberty Trees” in honor of America’s 250th Anniversary.
Student volunteers and our America 250 Committee got to work to plant a serviceberry tree at Beiriger, a maple tree at Wadsworth, an oak tree at Griffith High School, and another oak tree at St. Mary School.
Soon, we’ll have plaques to commemorate the trees’ significance. We hope the trees will be a continuing symbol and memorial for this historic year!
Special thanks to John Chance, principal of Griffith High School, Georgia Smith, the Director of Maintenance at the Griffith Public Schools, and Rebecca Maskovich, principal of St. Mary School, as well as our Griffith Historical Society volunteers, Valerie & John Wotkun and Marthann Gatlin, for coordinating and planting the trees, and Ken Karlstedt for taking photos.

As we plan for and move strategically into 2025, the Board of Directors is recommending changes in how we operate and represent the Griffith Historical Society Museums, not only in Griffith, but across the nation within a fraternity of hundreds of other Historical Museums.
To do this, we are proposing changes in our Bylaws regarding membership.
Please join us at this Special Membership Meeting to hear about the changes and vote on them, to secure the future of the Griffith Historical Society.
