Paradise Historical Society, Inc. A non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of history. For more information about the Society-940-859-3691.

The Paradise Historical Society was named “Business of the Year” by the Paradise Chamber of Commerce in 2013. We were surprised and ecstatic to receive such an honor. To accept such a tribute only spurs us forward to continue finding ways to help make our community an ever greater place to live. We hope to continue to ‘partner’ with other important groups such as the Chamber of Commerce, EDC, City of Paradise, Paradise Volunteer Fire Department, area churches, and local businesses. Working together can accomplish much - not to mention all the fun it creates! We have lots of plans for the upcoming year, so stay tuned and get ready to join in. Who would have thought that history could be so enjoyable?

Here it is, folks! 🍂

Every month I think, “This is my favorite cover,” but for October, that statement definitely rings true.

Introducing our October Feature, Lannie Noble!

If you don’t know Lannie, you need to meet him. And if you do know Lannie, you already know exactly what I’m talking about.

You can find him enjoying breakfast at a local spot pretty much every morning, at Grace Fellowship on Sunday, serving the community thru the Decatur Rotary Club, building a ramp on a Saturday, helping with Scouting America, delivering meals or serving with WCCA - Meals On Wheels Wise County…the list goes on and on and ON.

Lannie is the epitome of Rotary’s motto, “Service Above Self,” and he truly lives it. He is one of those people who quietly shows up, serves others and makes our community better simply because he believes it’s what we are called to do.

His own motto says it best: Be The Good.

I’m so honored to share Lannie’s story with all of you, and even more honored to call him my friend.

If you know Lannie, share this post so even more people can get to know the man behind the service. ❤️
