The Crest Historical Society was established in 1989 during Historic Preservation Week by a group of dedicated Crest residents recognizing the need to preserve the history of Crest.

Today,  the Crest Historical Society (CHS) continues to work to preserve and share Crest history with the community. CHS is always looking for new members. There is one general meeting a year. An informal monthly workshop meets the first Tuesday of each month at 1 pm at the Library. We welcome folks dropping by and asking questions or sharing history regarding our community.
