Mission Statement:
The Southwest Arm Historical Society is a non-profit organization committed to researching, preserving and promoting the history of all communities, both current and re-settled, in the greater Southwest Arm area.
Aims and Objectives:
- to promote the study, knowledge and preservation of the history of the Southwest Arm area;

- to preserve records, buildings and sites which may be of historic value or interest and erect monuments or memorials commemorating or recording events of historic interest of the South West Arm area;
- to enter into arrangements with governmental authorities or municipal authorities that seem conducive to the Society’s objectives and obtain from any such authority any rights, privileges or concessions, which the Society may think desirable to obtain;
- to do all other things necessary for the fulfillment of the aims and objectives that are legal and do not jeopardize the Society’s status as a charitable organization.
