Preserving Our Past, Empowering Our Future.

Nothing worth doing is ever simple or easy.  Preserving the past people, places and events of Quincy Township’s long history will be no different.  We are starting a monumental undertaking.  This is a worthy undertaking.  We are inviting YOU to JOIN us in this adventure.  

The Founding of anything new requires immense amounts of TIME, ENERGY and RESOURCES.  As part of this Society, each and everyone one of us, will accomplish together what none of us could do alone.  We need YOU.

The time is NOW.  The collection has already started.  Visit the Quincy Township Municipal Offices during normal business hours to see what has already been preserved and displayed.  The time is NOW.  We welcome YOUR participation, join us in this adventure.

Spread the news, encourage others to join.  Share the excitement.  The time is NOW.
