Sawyer County Historical Society prepares summer exhibits and school visits
Summary
The Sawyer County Historical Society reported museum preparations for summer hours, a new arrowhead display, a proposed gangster-themed exhibit in the basement and scheduled school visits; volunteers continue cataloging artifacts for a local restoration project.
A representative of the Sawyer County Historical Society updated the Sawyer County Economic Development UW Extension Committee on museum preparations for the summer season, new displays and incoming school groups.
The update matters because local museums support heritage tourism and community education; the society described artifact cataloging and exhibit plans that will expand public programming during summer hours.
The society said it had recently acquired a display of over 800 projectile points and small artifacts and is preparing a basement room for a gangster-era exhibit; it also reported classroom visits and cleaning and preparation days ahead of summer hours (Thursday–Saturday, noon–4 p.m., after Memorial Day). Museum volunteers worked with a photographer to document tools and artifacts that may be used in a new building project on Main Street.
Committee members offered support and said they could attend meetings to hear more and explore ways to assist the historical society.
Ending: The society will move into summer hours and continue exhibit work; the committee offered to provide assistance as needed.
