PRINCETON — Volunteers are at the heart of what makes both big and small communities tick, and the Princeton Historical Society is looking for individuals to help do just that. According to a recent press release, the society is seeking “inquisitive and creative community members to join our active board and one person to become our future curator.” The time commitment can be as little or as much as people are able to do, but the hope is that the new volunteers would be able to attend and participate in its eight monthly Zoom board meetings and work to help “ensure that our historical treasures are available for (re)discovery by future generation.” Town residents Bus Brooks and Rick Bullock co-chair the all-volunteer, nonprofit organization founded in 1937, which receives no funding from the town.
