Wine & Roses - Cancelled.
All good things must come to an end.
After 20 wonderful years, the Dickinson Historical Society has made the decision to retire our beloved Annual Wine & Roses Gala. This event has been a cherished tradition in our community, and we are deeply grateful for the support, memories, and friendships it has fostered over the years.
As times change, so do we. The Society is excited to begin a new chapter—one that embraces fresh ideas and new ways to celebrate and preserve Dickinson’s rich history. We look forward to introducing new events and opportunities for our community to connect, learn, and engage.
For those who have already purchased tickets or contributed as sponsors or donors, we sincerely thank you for your support. If you wish, we are happy to apply your ticket purchase toward an annual membership, and your sponsorship or donation toward funding our upcoming programs.
We invite you to continue this journey with us. Stay connected by following us on Facebook and subscribing to our newsletter at DickinsonHistoricalSociety.org for updates on what’s ahead.
Thank you for being part of our story—we can’t wait to share what comes next.
With appreciation,
Dickinson Historical Society
