We are always up to something at the Historical Society. We are constantly looking for ways to keep up our efforts to preserve Griffith’s historical records and stories, and publicize and fundraise for our efforts!
These are our standing committees, for which we ALWAYS accept new volunteer help! Please contact us at [email protected] or come to a monthy meeting, if you’d like to volunteer!
