If you’ve taken a stroll down Crandon’s main street lately, you’ve probably noticed a bit more color and history hanging above the sidewalks. We are absolutely thrilled to announce that, thanks to a deeply generous donation from a local family, we were able to add 10 additional historic banners to our lineup this summer!
But the good news doesn’t stop there. These same wonderful donors have pledged the ongoing funds needed to turn this into a permanent, annual program. This means every single summer, our downtown will be vibrant with stories of our past—beautifying our streets, drawing well-deserved attention to our historic buildings, and sparking local pride.
How You Can Help Us Keep History Alive
While this incredible gift gives us a massive leap forward, the heartbeat of the Historical Society has always been our community. To keep expanding our preservation efforts, archiving new collections, and creating events that bring our history to life, we need your help.
If you love seeing our history celebrated, consider making a donation today. Every dollar stays right here in the community to protect the stories that define us.
