We sorely miss our Dear founder betty tharp
Mr. Jeffrey Briley was an amazing guest speaker for us. He talked about many aspects related to being creative and being organized to improve our own Piedmont Historical Society. +He himself has many personal interests includimg photography, woodworking, blacksmithing, sailing, mountaineering, fly fishing, and automobiles. His personal activity experiences (bucket list) include such diverse hallmarks as: lived in a log cabin, skinned a buffalo, having leapt from horseback onto a moving train, sailed
on the North Sea with crew from the Scottish Fisheries Museum, worked on bubonic plague research with CDC Research Fellow Cluff Hopla, studied papermaking with Guggenheim recipient and McArthur Fellow Timothy Barrett, and have shared time with many beautiful elusive trout. Thank you Mr. Briley for being such an amazing guest and speaker! Come by the Piedmont Historical Society museum at Founders Day in Piedmont 2019. A great day is coming tomorrow Saturday September 7th. Come and have the pulled pork sandwiches, bratwurst, all kinds of drinks, as well as homemade pies either whole or by the slice. See you there.

Preserving Our Past - - - For The Future
The Piedmont Historical Society was established in 1992. The Museum contains thousands of pictures and artifacts that belonged to the people of this area from many years ago, including those of the present day. The Museum is Piedmont's first two story brick building which was built in 1917 and housed the Piedmont State Bank on the main floor. The Masonic Lodge, Eastern Star and Rainbow Girls were located upstairs. The white and green small octagon shaped ceramic tiles are still intact at the entry of the main building, as well as the stained glass windows and the bank's safe. The Historical Society Museum Annex Building construction was completed in 2013 to provide for additional space for meetings and display.
