Promoting and protecting our county’s history is a big job and can only be accomplished with the support of people like yourself who care about the past, who know that our history defines our future as a community, and who believe that Vanderburgh County has a rich and colorful history that should never be lost, forgotten or even temporarily misplaced.
When you join VCHS you can expect to be alerted to historic events, exhibits, and public programming. Past events have included programs about Abraham Lincoln, Lewis and Clark, Evansville in the Civil War, Evansville in WWII, the history of Mesker Park Zoo, historic home and neighborhood preservation, the drinkable history tour of Evansville and ongoing collaborations with other local entities involved in historic preservation. Our society meets on an annual basis, sponsors public programs and events throughout the year, and is very active in consulting with public officials and private citizens about the need to preserve Vanderburgh County’s history.
