The Eagle River Historical Society welcomes members and the general community to participate more fully in the work and activities of our organization. Remember, saving history starts with you and the rest of us, so Stand in the Gap! The range of involvement goes from a single project, to commitment as a committee chair, and if there is some skill that you wish to hone or gain let us know and we can see what we can do. Our volunteers are full year or seasonal, weekly or occasional, with a large range of interest in many areas.
