In the late 1970's an ad in the newspaper was put out for local people to attend a meeting at the Harrison Memorial Hall by Paul Inkman. Not long after, a society was formed called the Harrison Lake Historical Society. Helen Vaughan became president and the meetings were moved to Agassiz, as the majority of the members were Agassiz residents.

The original meetings were held in the Centennial room in the Agassiz Municipal Hall. The core original members of the society were: Dr. Stanley, Helen Vaughan, Ella Pretty, Mary Gibson, Carol Law, Joyce McRae, and Bev Kennedy. The society quickly grew to a membership of over eighty people.
