Henderson Mayors Event
Join the Henderson Historical Society (HHS) on January 19th to celebrate the history of Henderson’s Mayors. There have been thirteen Mayors since 1953 when Dr. James French took office as Henderson’s first Mayor. Henderson’s most recent Mayor is Debra March who will conclude her service to the Henderson community in 2022. Learn about these dedicated public servants who turned a dusty, temporary government reservation into the prosperous “place to call home” that Henderson has become.
