Over 30 different displays have been designed, installed, and enjoyed by the public since 1999. The exhibits always attempt to connect the past to how we live today, because it makes history interesting and relevant. These creative endeavors are funded with the proceeds from Art in the Village, which is the society\u2019s main fundraiser, as well as society memberships and monetary donations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.clarkstonhistorical.org\/?page_id=2293\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-791 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.clarkstonhistorical.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/past_exhibits_btn3-300x82.png\" alt=\"Exhibits: Present &amp; Past\" width=\"300\" height=\"82\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>ARTIFACTS<\/h4>\n<p>The museum also gathers and preserves important Clarkston artifacts donated to and purchased by the historical society.
