“Preserving the Past, Enhancing the Present, Investing in the Future”
by Maralyn Fink
The Clinton County Historical Society and Museum held their annual Christmas party on Monday December 1st at the Road House. Many members and spouses were present for food, fun and conversation.
President Lynne Gregory presided over the meeting, and drawings were held for many prizes. Everyone present had a great time and wished everyone a Merry Christmas.
The Society is made up of two groups: the Museum and the Archives and Genealogy Resource which includes Clinton County Trails. Members number around 90, and membership is $25.00.
The Society puts out a newsletter every 3 months, and the Museum does a yearly one.
The Historical Society meets once a month, and the public is welcome. The Museum has its own board of directors that meet on an irregular basis, and their meetings are not open to the public.
The Society and Museum are funded by fundraising projects and donations. There are many uses for the donations such as heating, lights, maintenance repair and phones when open. The hours for the museum are Wednesday 2-7 and Sunday 1-4, closing just before Christmas till the following season.
The President of the Historical Society is Lynne Gregory, and Diane Carlson is the Executive Director of Museum.
