Polk County Historical Society
VISITORS, VOLUNTEERS AND NEW MEMBERS ALWAYS WELCOME!
The Polk County Historical Society was formed in 1959. We are an all volunteer organization. We operate with donated funds, grants, memberships and admissions. We receive no governmental funding. We have several major fund raisers, our fall membership appeal, Brunk House's Annual Apple Festival and our July Porch Sale to mention a few. We currently have over 450 members, and always welcome new members and volunteers.
