Our Organization and Headquarters
Welcome to the official website of the West Gadsden Historical Society.
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, Florida 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.
