Carolyn LaFontaine has been a tireless volunteer at KCHS for many years. Three days a week, without fail, she comes into the museum to volunteer her time and expertise. Using the museum's dedicated software, she catalogs artifacts which have been donated. In addition, Carolyn has provided invaluable assistance with exhibits and research. She is our go-to person for all inquiries about the collections. She is particularly known for her expertise with textiles. Her dedication has been unsurpassed. Mark Williamson has been President of the Board of Trustees for the past two years. Prior to that he served in the role of Vice President. During his tenure, Mark has seen the historical society through a variety of exhibits and staffing changes, some more exciting than others. He has pitched in on just about every event and task. His dependability, steady demeanor, and kind ways have made him a KCHS treasured asset.
