To preserve and advance the culture and history of West Salem and surrounding areas.
The West Salem Historical Society preserves and advances the culture and history of the West Salem area. To fulfill this purpose the Octagon House, the Garland House, and the Jefferson House are used as a center for cultural events and local history study. It is the hope that these houses will become a living testimony to the pioneer spirit fostering our American heritage and contributing to our own growth as a community.
