The Venice Area Historical Society offers many benefits:

  1. Monthly program meetings which are normally held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the Venice on the Isle Meeting Room.  [These meetings typically include a guest speaker and/or a slide or power-point presentation ...always on an interesting historical subject or sometimes the focus is on a person who has lived in Venice for a very long time and therefore can relate their memories to newcomers.] There is also informal socializing and light refreshments. 

  2. Two luncheons per year that also feature interesting speakers.

  3. Day trips to historic sites and other area attractions.

  4. Quarterly VAHS newsletter

  5. Opportunities to enhance the historic preservation of your area
