The Leonard "Duke" Davis Collection

High School teacher turned historian, Leonard “Duke” Davis has been instrumental in documenting Roseville history. A founding member of the Roseville Historical Society, Duke was active until just recently when his health prevented his further involvement. We at the museum are eternally grateful for his work and continue to sell his books to the public for their enjoyment and knowledge about local history. The society is proud to have partnered with him on many of his works and have been the beneficiary of his detailed research as a result. Duke’s books are detailed here on our website and you can peruse them in person at the museum.
