In accordance with the by-laws of the Boundary County Historical Society, Inc., the public is invited to attend the 2021 annual meeting. It will be held Tuesday, April 27 at 6:00 pm in Portrait Hall at the Boundary County Historical Museum, 7229 Main, Bonners Ferry, Idaho.

In 1967, when a group of individuals incorporated the Boundary County Historical Society, Inc., they created an organization for future generations to follow in their footsteps. The first Trustees were Monk Shelman, Alice Kruegal, Grace Knoles, and Ruth Campbell. The organization’s purpose still holds true today:

“The purpose of the Boundary County Historical Society shall be to bring together persons interested in the history of Boundary County; to promote further interest in the heritage of this area; to gather information, objects and materials relative to its history and development; and to carry on educational programs concerning this region. The Society will acquire title and hold title to such personal and real property as may be necessary or desirable to carry out its purpose, and manage and operate any real or personal property given or acquired in the form of a public museum.” (By-laws - ARTICLE II - GENERAL PURPOSE)

After the signing of the incorporation papers, a picnic was held at Robinson Lake.
