Get involved!
Join a heritage & history group in the Glenkens.
Whether you’ve lived here forever or you’re just curious about the place, come along for a morning of memories, old photos, and plenty of “Do you remember when…?” moments.
Crossmichael has a long and fascinating history: Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages, Romans, Vikings, even Templar Knights - we have seen them all!
The purpose of the Glenkens Story: Sharing our History is to promote and expand interest and knowledge in the history of the people, places, and life of the Glenkens among all who live in the area and are associated with it.
We’re always keen to hear from volunteers to help steward in the Heritage Centre and you can find our more about becoming a member or a trustee on our web-page or email us.
