Although the address is still the same, visitors to the Dawson County Historical Society's website will find something new. It is also beginning to communicate through popular social media outlets online.

"The role of our new website is to inform and excite," said museum director John Woodward. The new site includes pages dedicated to information about the DCHS and its activities, as well as information about the museum and research archive. "People come to the museum for different reasons, the more information we can make available online, the more likely we can encourage more visitors and researchers," he went on to say.

The DCHS's online presences goes beyond just the web, but into social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter as well. "Anymore, younger people expect to see organizations to have a social media presence, but its more than that. We can communicate to a wider audience and age groupsusually interested with museums, particularly the under 35 crowd. By reaching out using social media, we can hope to inspire an interest about the DCHS and what we have available."
