St. John Historical Society

Here’s another group you should consider signing up with. The St. John Historical Society. The group’s been around for more than 30 years and you can join for as little as $25. And for that you get great newsletters and access to their activities, like organized hikes with history lessons along the way. The Historical Society also has a cool T-Shirt you can buy. Not quite as cool as the On-StJohn T-shirt, but you can’t wear that every day. If you’re on the island later this month, stop by the Earth Day celebration at the National Park ball field April 20th. The Historical Society will have a booth there, and you can learn more about what they do. In the meantime, check out some really cool old maps and photos at the St. John Historical Society’s Website here.

    What fun! I have been reading trips descriptions for hours now. The photographs, the maps, it’s all gives me a totally different perspective on the island. Thanks.

    I love looking at the photos of St. John from the past! So much more lush vegetation without the eye sore concrete structures of today.
