About Us

Montgomery History—the county’s historical society—has been serving residents and the region through its research library, adult programs, educational activities, publications, exhibits, and conferences since the organization was founded in 1944. As the only organization addressing the entire scope of county history, we serve a unique role in creating a shared sense of place and building safer and more welcoming communities. Montgomery History is where the stories of who we are, rooted in where we have been, are collected, preserved, and shared.

Learn more about how Montgomery History was founded and evolved into the organization it is today in the Montgomery County Story article: The County’s Historian: The Montgomery County Historical Society at 75 Years.
