Touchet Historical Society

Knowing Our Past is the Key to Our Future

From Shelley:

Dear Touchet Friend:

Historical preservation is an important task for members of any community. “Professor Johnston often said that if you didn't know history, you didn't know anything. You were a leaf that didn't know it was part of a tree.”
~Michael Crichton, Timeline

We are at a critical time in our community’s history. The face of the community is changing rapidly. Local historians who knew the founding fathers and their stories are leaving us-their valuable historical knowledge lost to us forever if we don’t act now.

To that end I am forming the Touchet Historical Society. It is so important to me that we record for future generations the unique role that our community played in the expansion of the Pacific Northwest. Documenting important contributions our ancestor’s made to the formation of this place we call home.

Please join me in this important undertaking .

Sincerely,

Shelley R. Saranto Perkins
President
