We are in need of 1 (or possibly 2) dehumidifiers to protect our archives and artifacts from these beastly humid summer months.

Does anyone happen to have one they no longer need?

Thanks!

The Magnolia Historical Society would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of the incredible volunteers who came out to help care for the Magnolia Historical Cemetery.

Thank you to Tony Gross, Councilor-at-Large, Victoria Mansfield, Cindy Williams, Jack Montgomery of Montgomery Tree, Bob and Betty Cannon, Lisa Ramos, Claire Decker Locher, Jamie Lee, Judy Gilliss for your hard work and commitment today and Rich and Nicole Hochmuth Dailey for lending us rakes and shovels.

A special thank you to Wolf Hill Garden Center for donating the flowers year after year to beautify our cemetery.

For more than 20 years, members of the Magnolia Historical Society have lovingly adopted and maintained this historic space, preserving its beauty and honoring those who came before us. It is because of volunteers like you that this important work continues.

We look forward to seeing everyone again in October for our fall cleanup—hope you can join us! Your time, effort, and dedication truly make a difference.
