Since 1986, members of the Center for Living History have been volunteering their time to share with our local schools, their passion for history. We are proud of our ongoing programs and look forward to sharing our USS Cyane tallship project with our community. We are a 501(c)3 non profit formed in 1998 and have never asked a fee for our services. We rely on donations from the public to expand and improve our programs.
