The Board of the North Okaloosa Historical Society first had the idea of forming an alliance of history-related organizations in the Florida Panhandle. Board member Russ Sneddon, who was then the Director of the Air Force Armament Museum, contacted museums and historical societies throughout the area. The group met for the first time in April 2006 at the Air Force Armament Museum.

To bring together community leaders and other interested individuals and organizations who are actively engaged in the collection, preservation, and restoration of historic property and memorabilia from the state of Florida and their respective communities.

By working together during this time of financial and economic instability we can more effectively use our resources and manpower in the preservation of our historic treasures.
