The Southern Oregon Historical Society is trying not to become history itself.
SOHS was once funded by property taxes, but a change in law allowed its levy money to be redirected, and it was.
The organization has struggled since then, with programs and staff cut to a bare minimum.
Staff is now all-volunteer. And a tax levy to create a historic preservation district failed in the November election. SOHS board president Doug McGeary and longtime volunteer Alice Mullaly visit with details of what can be done now.
