West Gadsden Historical Society, Inc. was organized in June 2004, as a non-profit charitable entity exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code.The first task at hand was to secure a building to serve as our headquarters. We found the historic James A. Dezell House, 328 East 8th Street, Greensboro, FL was for sale. With its unusual architecture and its great location on Highway 12, it would satisfy our needs. As of October 15, 2004, West Gadsden Historical Society, Inc. became the proud owner of The Dezell House! This property is the FIRST museum in Gadsden County. Restoration is already underway.
Our Mission Statement
The mission of the society is to preserve the history of Gadsden County while emphasizing the western area of the county. We showcase the history, people, places, and natural beauty of this region in the Florida Panhandle.
