The Society reaches out to the community through its newsletter, school and civic presentations, and oral history projects.

During the Christmas season, the Society sponsors a "Hand-made Holidays" festival featuring local arts and crafts for purchase as gifts, as well as displays of its collections of historic memorabilia and equipment. "Vintage Baseball" shows how baseball was played in the 1880s. All events are open to the public.
