 Keeping History Alive -

 Evansville has a rich history dating back to 1839/1840.  That history  impacts people worldwide.  Whether you’re a newcomer or can trace you linage to those founding fathers, we are all leaving our mark on this history.  Isn’t it important to do all we can to keep that history alive?

This has been the goal of the Evansville Grove Society since 1993.  The Society meets this goal by:
  • Owning/maintaining the historic Baker Office building and operating a museum with photographs, artifacts and records of historic significance,
  • Maintaining and furnishing the Antes Cabin (last remaining 1930’s tourist cabin from Lake Leota Park),
  • Presenting life learning programs in the community at multiple locations on a variety of topics, (full list available on website)
  • Publishing articles in local newspapers and on the web,
  • And collecting artifacts and donations from local citizens.
 
As a non profit  501(c)(3) corporation, we rely on support from individuals and businesses to maintain the Historic Baker Office Building campus plus expand our services.  Our annual membership/donation drive is an important tool in achieving those goals.
 
Each year we take on building upkeep and repair, mount museum exhibits and hold many programs free to the public with only the help of volunteers.  Who knows what the next year could bring, especially with your financial help.
 
Please consider renewing or beginning a membership in the Evansville Grove Society.  Being a member gives you voting privileges at our annual meeting in October and can keep you informed via email of all programs we are sponsoring.  Detach, fill out and return the form on the right to Evansville Grove Society, P.O. Box 643, Evansville, WI 53536.  All memberships end each year on December 31st unless renewed.
 
Thank you for your consideration,
 
Evansville Grove Society
