DOVER — An effort is being made to preserve and protect community's rich history. Toward that end, the city of Dover recently established the Dover Historical Committee.
The goal of the committee is to preserve and protect the written, oral and pictorial history of the city of Dover, city officials said in a press release.
The committee will provide education through research, written publications, displays, memorial landmarks, events and media that help build a sense of community that honors Dover's more than 100-year heritage.
City officials are accepting letters from individuals interested in becoming a part of the DHC. Volunteer committee members will be appointed by the mayor and affirmed by a majority vote of the Dover City Council.
Committee members must live within the city of Dover or its area of city impact.
One member of the Dover Historical Committee shall be appointed for an initial term of four years, two members for a term of three years; and two members for a term of two years. Ad hoc committee members are encouraged and will be considered at the first established DHC meeting.
Letters can be sent via mail or email. By mail, letters can be sent to: Mayor George Eskridge, Box 115, Dover, ID 83825; or via email to: deputyclerk@cityofdoveridaho.org.
