Founded in 1964, the Delray Beach Historical Society, believes that a sense of history is fundamental to understanding human experiences. Our mission is to collect, preserve and share materials from Delray Beach’s past, so that present and future generations can comprehend more fully their predecessors, their communities and themselves. The society encourages and assists people of all backgrounds and interests to learn more about Delray Beach’s diverse history.
The Delray Beach Historical Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization governed by a volunteer Board of Governors elected annually by the membership. A small staff and volunteers fulfill the mission and continue to grow the society as Delray Beach’s story unfolds.
