The Bordentown Historical Society's Values
Collaboration
We believe greater outcomes can be achieved working in respectful partnerships with each other than can be achieved working alone. We value opportunities to align ourselves with like-minded organizations to reach a greater outcome for all.
Engagement
We will succeed in our mission with the active involvement of our community and friends. The experience is what one makes of it, and proportional to the effort that goes into it. If one person is having fun, there’s a good chance, everyone else is too.
Inclusiveness
Bordentown’s history is woven into a rich and varied tapestry. Greatness can arise from almost anywhere. We treat each other with dignity. We respect that the diverse and nuanced ideas, backgrounds and perspectives of anyone can have the potential to achieve great results.
Enrichment
We embrace fulfillment through personal growth in its many forms. We are a channel to learning and creativity first.
Integrity
If we do the best we can and act truthfully, with transparency, we will represent our responsibility to the community as a credible source.
Stewardship
We care about the future as much as we value the past. We seek to understand history’s lessons and share that knowledge for all its intrigue and power to inspire the next generations.
