The Marquette Regional History Center invites you to their Annual Meeting
Marquette Regional History Center 145 W. Spring Street, Marquette, Michigan 49855
The Marquette Regional History Center invites you to its annual meeting Wednesday, Feb. 20, from 6:30-8 p.m. Marquette County has a rich history and cultural heritage that inspires many to interpret, preserve and share it. As a history institution, it is our responsibility to recognize those efforts and promote the achievements of people and organizations making history today. The Marquette Regional History Center began an awards program in 1984. The Helen Longyear Paul Award is given to recognize individuals and the Peter White Award honors foundations, companies, organizations and institutions. Both recognize exceptional effort in the enhancement, restoration, conservation or interpretation of the history of our area.
Awards will be presented at the annual meeting at the History Center. The meeting is free, open to the public and will offer refreshments, a brief business meeting and the awards ceremony. The Marquette County Historical Society, renamed the Marquette Regional History Center, celebrated 100 years of collecting and preserving local history last year. Our 2019 program brochure is available now, and we are excited to offer many heritage workshops this year! Come and join us. For more info, visit marquettehistory.org or call 906-226-3571.
