A tame crow, mascot of the Monroe Country Club prior to World War II, is shown here on the shoulder of its master, Ray Norder, employee of the club in the 1930s and 1940s. Norder had tamed two crows. One died before the other, which thrived on a diet composed principally of hamburgers. The longer living crow followed Norder and many of the caddies about the course and became expert in untying shoe strings. The golf course recently celebrated the 100th Anniversary of its founding by H.M. Place. The Green County Historical Society invites the public to come in and see what the downtown museum has to offer — especially those members that have not been in for a while. So much has changed and the historical society board is active planning events and organizing artifacts and records. Staff is at the museum Monday mornings, and the museum is open to the public Saturday and Sunday afternoons throughout the summer.
