The Whitestone Historical Society was formed to foster the recognition of the unique heritage, and to encourage its preservation, of the Municipality of Whitestone and the surrounding area.
Activities
The Society published an annual calendar featuring historical photos and descriptions of our area. Some calendars from previous years are still available as collector's items. The 2018 calendar feature old barns, some of which are still in use today.
In 2023, the Society partnered with the Whitestone Public Library to digitize information on local veterans. You can read more about the project here. The Historical Society is currently digitizing the contents of their published books to be available online.
Books
The Historical Society is in the process of sharing the information and pictures that it has collected since forming in 1999 by way of books about the area. The Whitestone Historical Society has completed nine books on Whitestone and area, compiled by Andy Houser. The books are available at Duck Rock General Store, and Bearly Used Book Store.
The Historical Society provides a local historical display as part of the Dunchurch Agricultural Society's annual Fall Fair. These displays are available for viewing at the Whitestone Public Library.
