The Clive Historical Society is not about
having a club for meetings and social activities for it's members to
participate in. It is about people who want to make a difference for
their community by preserving historical landmarks, sharing history with
students and adults, hosting Open House Events, welcoming bus tours.
We are also working with the city to create a park that allows us to
remember our roots by using hands on activities in the historical Clive
Depot, Swanson General Store and railroad caboose. YOU can be a
part of this effort too. We invite you
to join us. You need not be a member to help. We welcome
volunteers too.

2005 Projects
- A new park bench -
has been added under the buck-eye tree for the comfort of visitors.
Especially located for parents to watch small children who make use of the
grounds.
More landscaping was done to level the
ground where a former flower garden had been. Grass now grows in that
spot to open up the play area.
- Maintenance -
New paint for the structures and the sign in front of the store has a new
frame. Not nearly as much fun as planting the new gardens, but
necessary.
This was done in anticipation of the Clive Five-O events that will be taking
place in Swanson Memorial Park during the next year. Neat and tidy.
Ready for a party.
Two new pictures from post cards.
