Hello Folks! Welcome to the Orestes Historical Society web page. We sure hope you enjoy our site as much as we enjoy bringing it to you. We thank you for stopping in and be sure and come back.

The Orestes Historical Society meets the last Thursday of each month, 6:00 p.m., at the Dr. Joel Cook Building (Orestes Museum) in downtown Orestes. Our town is small and there's no problem finding it right next to the post office. We are a friendly group and all visitors are welcome. Come and join the fun talking of old times.
