Discovering Humboldt's Heritage Values:
Tell Us What You Think

The Humboldt and District Museum and Gallery, the City of Humboldt and the Advisory Committee for Humboldt’s Heritage Project have come together to collaborate in finding out what Humboldt people value about their heritage. Whether you have lived here all of your life or have just recently arrived, we want everyone to participate in exploring the community’s heritage values.

In addition to the bricks and mortar of buildings, we want to discover all those aspects of life in Humboldt that are an important part of the fabric of our community. The results of this project will contribute to a heritage management plan for Humboldt.

Your responses to this survey are confidential and will be combined with information from other sources as well. Please take a few minutes to fill out the survey, and watch for further information about the project.

If you prefer to complete the survey on paper, you may download or print it (PDF).

The deadline for completing the survey is March 31, 2010.
