Independence Area Historical Society

Meets at the library, 6 PM, the 3rd Tuesday of each month.

In it’s second year, The Independence Area Historical Society was founded for the purpose of preserving the history, images and artifacts of the City of Independence and it’s surrounding area. If you are interested in the history of our community, or have stories or photographs you would be willing share, please join us!

   My great grandfather, George M. Dusenbery, graduated from the Independence Graded School in 1899 and I have a copy of the program for that event as well as an article entitled “Independence – school days” which has a photo of the first school building, with people in front of it. Would the Independence Historical Society be interested in having a copy of either of these items. Clarice Hebinck 165 Shoreline Drive Mary Esther, Florida 32569 phone 850-581-4591. Thank you.

   We would welcome both items into our collection. They can be sent to the Historical Society by either the street address or e-mail address of the Independence Public Library.

   As I was replying to this, a patron came into the library and commented, “Oh, yes. The Dusenbery’s lived on Adams St.”
