Because appreciation of the present is enhanced by understanding the past,
the Rochester-Avon Historical Society helps to preserve, collect and interpret the history of the greater Rochester area for present and future generations. We believe that:
▪ By educating our citizens about their heritage, we celebrate our democratic way of life and instill an appreciation of our history.
▪ By perpetuating our past through the preservation of historic resources, we maintain a rich diversity in our community life.
▪ By respecting and restoring architectural integrity of structures and by conserving neighborhood environments, we preserve the unique character and document the historical evolution of the place in which we live.
