WELCOME
We are four historical sites in St George:
CELEBRATING 45 YEARS!
Our History - At the Beginning
The St. George Historical Society was founded on April 9, 1981, when five people — Commander Albert Smalley, Ed Hilt, Bernard Rackliff, Jim Skoglund, and Bradley Beckett — gathered to create an organization dedicated to local history. The Society was formally incorporated on December 21, 1981, with Ralph Cline, Jr. and Steven E. Sullivan joining the founding members in signing the official articles. From the beginning, the Society has pursued three core goals: collecting and preserving historical information, documents, and artifacts related to St. George; encouraging the sharing and publishing of local history; and supporting the preservation of important landmarks.
Our Recent History
On May 12, 2025, St. George voters overwhelmingly approved three lease agreements allowing the Society to continue operating at the Marshall Point Lighthouse Museum, the Schoolhouse Museum, and its headquarters at 38 Main Street. With this strong show of community support, the St. George Historical Society looks forward to a bright future of collecting, preserving, and presenting the rich history of the Town of St. George.
