    28 January 2021  10:00 am - 12:30 pm

    Most Thursday mornings from about 10AM till noon or 1PM, a small group of Gray Historical Society volunteers meet at the GHS museum to work on various society projects. When they do, the OPEN flag goes out and we welcome visitors as well. So, if you see the flag, stop on in!

    If you have a passion for history, perhaps you'd like to help out? Just let us know.

    Questions may be directed to secretary@grayhistorical.org.

GHS is USUALLY open to visitors from May through October on the first and third Saturday of each month from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM or by appointment.
