Preserving Memories, Inspiring Futures

Established in 2019, the Slaughter Beach Historical Society (SBHS) originated from a dedicated group exploring archives of old photos, records, and newspapers, as well as engaging with long-time residents. Our initial project, the Calendar Contest, served as both a historical showcase and a fundraising initiative. The wealth of knowledge gained has inspired the launch of our official website. With numerous ideas cultivated by our small team, we invite and seek assistance from individuals eager to contribute to our mission. Your support is integral to furthering our efforts in preserving and sharing the rich history of Slaughter Beach.
