Founded in 1988 the Bay Heritage Quilters Guild was formed to promote the art of quilting through sharing, teaching and friendship.  As a group they provide demonstrations, do several community service projects, exchange ideas and provide an atmosphere in which members can learn from experienced quilters.  In addition, they hold a biennial quilt show of guild member quilts as well as quilts submitted by people from around the area and the state.  The friendships that form within the group cross generational lines and connect the members of today to those who have come before.

The purpose of the Olde Thyme Herb Society is to promote interest and research in the knowledge and use of herbs through educational programs, projects and public herb plantings.  In addition, Herb Society members maintain the Trombley/Centre House Herb Garden on JFK Drive from spring through fall; diligently planting, weeding and harvesting heirloom variety plants through the growing season. 

The Bay County Sports Hall of Fame was established in 1990.  It is an organization devoted to the celebration and preservation of our county's sports history. In November 2025 the organization found a new home for their exhibit at the Bay County Historical Society.   Situated in the Trails Through Time gallery, the exhibit showcases yearly inductees, a touch screen monitor to learn more about each inductee, and cases of sports memborabilia.
