How is my donation used by the Society?
We have an annual essay contest with the area junior/senior high school. In this contest kids are encouraged to learn the history of people, places, and things of the area and how world events affect our community. Nearly 100 essays are submitted each year and are scored by a panel of judges. Authors’ names are not known until the actual winners are chosen. At that time winners are revealed and honored with a short banquet and are given monetary prizes.
We have taken on preservation projects and have been successful with the renovation of the Covered Bridge restaurant.
Currently, we are hoping to help in the saving and restoration of the Wollenmann home. Read more.
