* Our Mission Statement*
The Mission of the Venetia Heritage Society (VHS) is to preserve the former Venetia Grade School through transformative use of the facility as a center for service to people of all ages in the surrounding community. The VHS also strives to increase awareness and educate the public about local history and its significance to the area.
Welcome to the website for the Venetia Heritage Society! Our non-profit organization was formed in 1997 to preserve the former Venetia Elementary School that was built in 1926. The school was purchased by the society from the Peters Township School District in the mid 1990's. The school is now known as the Venetia Community Center. The Center serves as a meeting place for various non-profit organizations. We hope that our website will keep all those who have an interest in preserving this school informed about Peters Township's historical treasure.
We would like to invite you to join the Venetia Heritage Society and contribute to the organization's efforts to preserve Venetia School and maintain the Venetia Community Center. By becoming a member and by supporting our various fundraisers, we can save our school for continued use by future generations. Would you like to be a member? Join or make a donation today!
