The Leon Historical Society was found September 17, 1978. The main purpose at that time was a very simple one, keep as accurate history of the town and its families. also, love and respect for the past. The historians wanted to insure corrections and truth of the way it was, the way it is now, and connecting the past and present. this was to insure that says a person who does not know history is doomed to repeat the mistake of the past.
