Cliffside Historical Society
About Us
The Cliffside Historical Society is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to collect and preserve the history, memories and lore of Cliffside, in the form of documents, articles, photographs and written or recorded memoirs. This Web site is a part of that effort.
We need members and contributors. The individual membership fee is only $10 per year ($15 per family)—and you can buy lifetime memberships. Cash donations beyond that will be most appreciated.
Members (called “Friends of Cliffside”) receive The Cliffside Chimes, newsletters filled with history and memories, news of the projects we're undertaking and the progress we're making, and previews of material coming soon on Remember Cliffside.
There are four such newsletters a year. Here is a sample of one of the issues in this PDF file. We hope you will check it out.
If you are not already a member, we need you—not only for your cash contributions, but to become involved in one or more of our projects. We need people to do research: to interview and record the stories of our older residents and former residents of Cliffside and nearby areas; to help search for facts, identify photos, create archives, etc. We also need people who like to write, who are curious, who like to get to the bottom of things. You don't have to live in or even near Cliffside to help.

The Web Site and Cliffside Chimes:
Reno and Betty Bailey edit and maintain RememberCliffside.com. Using material from many sources, they update the site with stories and photos at the start of each month. And every quarter they publish the Society's newsletter, the Cliffside Chimes, which is mailed to over 200 members and friends of the Society.
The photo is not of our board, nor even our officers. The young man at the upper right is Charles H. Haynes and the others are probably some of his friends at Guilford College, about 1895. (From the Hazel Haynes Bridges collection)

And a touching tribute was paid to Eugene “Cheetah” Lipscomb, a life-long resident of Cliffside, whose extraordinary work in rock masonry has added much to the town's appeal.
