Operating philosophy - what we do:

Through innovative and creative use of all our resources we will:

• emphasize Lebanon’s role in past wars, especially the American Revolution;
• present and illuminate Lebanon’s past through engaging programs and communications;
• value our visitors and supporters and provide programs and services that meet their needs and interests;
• make Lebanon’s history interesting, relevant and fun;
• share what we have learned about connecting our constituents to the past with colleagues at other heritage organizations.

• History inspires us to care about the place where we live.
• History helps us to better understand the present.
• History must be preserved for future generations.
• History can and must be engaging for people of all ages.

By sharing an awareness of local history, the Lebanon Historical Society seeks to provide our community and visitors with connections to the past, an understanding of the present and a sense of responsibility for the future.
