Beaverton Thorah Eldon Historical Society's purpose is to collect, research, interpret and preserve artifacts and information that illustrate the founding, settlement and development of the Village of Beaverton and the Townships of Thorah and Eldon.

We hold monthly meetings with interesting speakers and provide displays, tours, programs and special events for the public, schools and interested groups.  In our archives we help individuals or students to research local history or family genealogy.  The Historical Society has published "The Beaverton Story, Harvest of Dreams" and "Continuing Dreams, The Second Beaverton Story".  We have also created videos, DVD's, CD's and PowerPoint presentations which bring to live local history, preserve the memories of seniors and provide armchair walking tours of our area.  We operate the Beaver River Museum - an old stone jail, log farmhouse and workingman's house that depict the lifestyle of the early setters and townspeople of our community.
