Mission:
We believe in the power of history to ignite the imagination, stimulate thought and provide enjoyment. Through our collections and programs we strive to link Lafayette's history to the lives of people.

We work towards this goal by:

 -  Discovering and collecting any material which may help document or illustrate the history of Lafayette.
 -  Preserving that material and making it accessible to all who wish to examine or study it.
 -  Disseminating historical information through programs, publications, exhibits and the Internet.
