About the Society
WHO WE ARE
Mineola Historical Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, volunteer-run organization. Our members are comprised of individuals from Mineola and other areas with a passion for history and a desire to share that story with the community. Our headquarters, open to the public, is a repository of over 7,000 photographs, plus memorabilia, books, articles, and more.
WHAT WE DO
Primarily dedicated to preserving the history of our village, we actively collect, maintain, and display items of local history and interest.
We also enjoy engaging with the public in a myriad of ways for the purpose of disseminating historical information.
Since 2021, we have worked to place one or two historical markers per year. Members are involved in the process of locating suitable sites, researching their history, writing text for the marker, and coordinating with the village for placement.
We participate in the annual Mineola Street Fair, as well as other seasonal festivals. Our outreach programs, given by members, have been brought to the Mineola School District and local Scout groups. Click here for information about visiting or outreach.
