The Palm Coast Historical Society, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting local history, announced the appointment of its new leadership team and a nomination for the position of Palm Coast City Historian.
Peter Johnson, a former candidate for Palm Coast mayor and one of the leaders of the recent Bunnell History Day celebration, has been appointed President of the Palm Coast Historical Society. Serving with him are Reasa Pabst as Vice President (she is also the immediate past president), Richard Cooper as Treasurer, and Mia Parada as Secretary. Tricia Aanderud and Alex Maller serve as Board Directors.
The Board of the Palm Coast Historical Society unanimously approved Preston Zepp as its nominee for appointment as Palm Coast City Historian. The nomination will be forwarded to the Palm Coast City Council for consideration as it requires council approval.
“Our area is rich in history, and it’s essential that we continue to protect and share it,” Johnson said. “Our goals include building on the progress made to preserve Fire Station 22, expanding event programming and outreach, strengthening our speaker series, and further integrating local history into our schools. The new leadership team looks forward to continuing the society’s mission by promoting community engagement, supporting the City of Palm Coast in recognizing its historical legacy, and ensuring future generations understand and appreciate our past as we move into the future.”

“Just asking” maybe you never volunteered for the Palm Coast Historical Society or worked well for the society did any lobbying for them or run for the Board? I think is a good pick and may work well for the society. Now they need an excellent volunteer (just to start with after proven effective) grant writer! Just need to provide all the information needed to apply for grants available out there from non profits that support history preservation: https://dosgrants.com/ also here: https://florida.grantwatch.com/cat/27/preservation-grants.html.
PCHS needs grants to help fund the partial remodeling of our old station 22 into the Palm Coast Museum and Welcome Center to be managed by our PCHS volunteers and across from our Community Center off Clubhouse Drive and PC Parkway.
