In January we catch our breath and find ourselves taking stock, looking at the past year, and counting our blessings.  The Historical Society has so many to thank for support in 2022.  We tried new things, faced new challenges, and ended the year stronger because of financial, and in-kind donations.  Funds, services, and treasured artifacts came to us from too many to mention but here is a partial list in no particular order:
