Newark Historical Society Annual Service Award
"For Outstanding Service to the Community through Historic Preservation"

Volunteers are the lifeblood of the Newark Historical Society. Thanks to the dedication and efforts of our volunteers, we are able to manage and care for our collections, plan and create new exhibits, open our museum to the public, host events and participate in community activities. Many hours of work go into all of these things, so we thank our volunteers from the bottom of our hearts.
