October 2, 2025: Launch of GHS.2

Come Help Re-launch the Glendale Historical Society!

Tuesday, October 21, 7 p.m. at City Hall

After a ten-year absence, the Glendale Historical Society is getting a new life!  The group was active from 1986 to 2015 but folded due to the retirement of its long-time president.  The hodgepodge of archives was put in the attic of City Hall — and basically have collected dust since.  At the invitation of City Hall, a small group of citizens has formed a GHS.2 steering committee.  We would like to update Glendale residents on what we have been doing and how we hope the new Glendale Historical Society will grow and develop to help protect, celebrate, and preserve Glendale’s history, stories, and traditions. 

Please attend our launch event at Glendale City Hall on Tuesday, October 21 at 7 p.m.  We will showcase what we have found in the archives and what we are working on at present.  We will also discuss our proposed activities and welcome the community’s suggestions on what you would like to see from the newly organized organization.  Refreshments will be served.  A limited number of Glendale Christmas ornaments will be for sale to benefit the new group.  Finally, there will be plenty of opportunities for interested people to get involved.  

In the meantime, direct any questions or comments to GlendaleHSMO@gmail.com.  

Please watch this space as we will have more information leading up to the launch — including the back story on the trolley featured in the GHS logo.
