On May 5, 2003, the Altoona
City Council recognized the Altoona Area Historical Society
as the City's official organization to collect, secure, and
preserve the artifacts and records of the City of Altoona and
surrounding areas.
The Altoona Area
Historical Society is established to collect and secure artifacts
and historical records representing Altoona, Iowa and the surrounding
area for the purpose of preserving our American Heritage.
The Altoona Area Historical Society was
organized by a group of dedicated people committed to preserving
our local history. Its purpose is to promote history, preserve
historic landmarks and sites, and display articles of historical
value.
The goals of the Altoona Area Historical Society are to create
an Altoona Area Historical Museum and to educate citizens about
our local history.
