HATTIESBURG AREA HISTORICAL SOCIETY & MUSEUM
Hattiesburg, MS
The Hattiesburg Area Historical Society was organized in 1970 to fill a void in the preservation of local history and heritage. The society was incorporated in 1971 as the first historical society in the area and the second society formed in the state of Mississippi. The HAHS Museum is staffed by volunteers.
The society's mission is to bring together people interested in regional history; promote better understanding of our American heritage and democratic way of life; discover, collect, and preserve any material which can help establish or illustrate the history of Forrest County and the surrounding area; disseminate and arouse interest in historical information, and cooperate with other state historical societies and the state Department of Archives and History to make HAHS materials available to the public.
