Join Us for the Crandon Area Historical Society Annual Meeting at Carter House Museum
We are excited to announce that the Crandon Area Historical Society will be holding its annual meeting on Thursday, September 26 at the historic Carter House Museum, starting at 6:00 p.m.. This is an excellent opportunity for members and the community to come together, learn about the society’s ongoing efforts, and celebrate our shared passion for Forest County’s rich history.
Special Dedication: Honoring Winnie Krueger and Contributors
This year, our annual meeting will include a special dedication ceremony. We will be expressing our heartfelt thanks to Winnie Krueger, the Krueger family, and Northern Lakes Service for their generous contributions to the creation of our new Quaker shed. Although this exciting new exhibit is still a work in progress, we invite you to come see the current displays and hear about the future plans for this historical addition. We look forward to honoring these key contributors for their vital support in making this project a reality.
Enjoy Refreshments & Connect with Fellow Members
The evening will include refreshments and a chance to mingle with fellow history lovers. Whether you’re a long-time member or new to the society, this is the perfect time to catch up on what’s happening, share stories, and make new connections.
