The Summit Historical Society’s annual benefit dinner, “A Taste of Summit,” hosted by the Summit Grand Hotel, will be held on March 28 from 6:00-8:30pm. Over a dozen local restaurants and vendors are scheduled to attend this event.

The Summit Historical Society was created in 1929 and took a proactive role in archiving the history of the town. To date, they have a “a large archive of photographs, genealogy files, Summit house files, other historic structures surveys, maps, newspapers, postcards, yearbooks and city tax atlases… city directories dating back to 1890,” according to their website. They continuously update their collections through research and donations.

The Taste of Summit fundraiser is their largest event.

Currently, their headquarters are located at the Carter House on Butler Parkway. The Carter House is open to the public on Wednesdays from 1:30-4:00pm by appointment.
