Berea Historical Society
Founded in 1959 through the efforts of Dorothy Marks McKelvey, local historian. The Berea Historical Society is dedicated to serving the Berea area through the collection, preservation and exhibit of the evidence of the history of Berea and Middleburg Township, along with the interpretation of that evidence to children and adults.
The Berea Historical Society sponsors the programs and activities of the Mahler Museum & History Center. These include school tours, special exhibits, public events, and the display of historical collections and memorabilia.
The Society also hosts monthly public events during its March through December season, offering programs of historical interest for members and guests.
Funds are raised through projects, donations, and membership dues. The Society has approximately 400 members, all of whom receive The Enterprise, an award‑winning quarterly publication. Membership is open to anyone interested in supporting the Society’s vision and is activated upon payment of dues.
Our appreciation goes to all the volunteers and the Berea Historical Society Officers who help in so many ways. There are many opportunities for volunteers.
