Do you love history?

Looking for a place to volunteer?

Consider the Southlake Historical Society.

You can help collect, preserve and re-tell the stories of Southlake that reach as far back as the Native Americans and early settlers who crisscrossed the Eastern Cross Timbers region in search of land, water and game.

Volunteers are at work now.
