Volunteer of the Year Awards
The Peoria Historical Society relies on many volunteers who work in our historic homes, help with special events, serve on our board, and lend time to our committees. Each year, PHS recognizes one or two of these dedicated people who have gone above and beyond in volunteering their time and talent. We are grateful for their hard work, leadership, and contributions to Peoria Historical Society.
