he Ireton Area Historical Society (IAHS) was organized in May, 1978. Its first major tasks were gathering photos for display, interesting the community in the town’s history and publishing Ireton, A Proud Heritage: 1882-1982. Once those challenges had been completed and Ireton’s centennial celebration was past, Society members turned their attentions to acquiring a suitable house or building in which to display their growing collection of antiques, photographs and Ireton memorabilia. In the Spring of 1986, the Society was able to acquire a home on the southeast corner of 3rd and Ash Streets, just east of the public school. You can see the house by appointment only.
