Affinity Groups & Committees
Shared Interests, Shared Purpose
There are many ways to connect with the Carlton County Historical Society and contribute to the preservation and sharing of local history. Affinity groups and committees bring people together around common interests and shared goals, offering opportunities to learn, collaborate, and make a difference.
Current Affinity Groups
Affinity groups are casual gatherings of people who share an interest in a particular aspect of local history. They can be any size and may focus on social activities, volunteering, research, or simply learning together. These groups create opportunities to build connections and expand our collective knowledge of Carlton County's history.
