THE HASTINGS HISTORIAN

The Hastings Historian is our quarterly publication and is a benefit of membership. Each issue is filled with in-depth articles on the history of our village, complete with historical photographs. We also include items of interest to our readership, such as upcoming programs and exhibits, and other Historical Society news. If you are interested in receiving the Hastings Historian, please become a member.

A listing of past issues is provided below. Hard copies of past issues of the Hastings Historian are available for purchase at a nominal fee, plus postage. Contact us if you’d like to receive one or more back copies of our newsletter.

While most of the articles are written by our volunteer staff and student interns, we welcome submissions from our members and others who have something of general interest that they want to share. Please contact us if you have a topic that you would like to write about for publication in the Hastings Historian.
